Event Nummer 8, ein $1.500 FL Omaha Hi/Lo, wurde gestern gestartet. 967 Spieler nahmen teil, darunter auch viele deutschsprachige Spieler. Drei von ihnen überlebten den ersten Tag. Chipleader ist Nikolai Yakovenko, Todd Brunson, Daniel Negreanu und Jeff Madsen befinden sich in den Top Ten.
Sehr viele deutschsprachige Spieler gingen beim $1.500 FL-Omaha Hi/Lo an den Start. So konnte man an den Tischen Isamel Bojang, Norbert Brohl, „Greneral“, Markus Faller, Marc Gork, Alex Hering, Andreas Krause, Jürgen Schäfer, Dominik Nitsche, Mario Puccini, Thorsten Schuler und den Schweizer Paolo Compagno sichten.
Doch durch den Tag haben es nur 3 Spieler geschafft. „Greneral“ war wieder einmal der beste von allen und er beendete den Tag mit 30,800 (20 BB) an Chips, was ihm Rang 42 in den Chipcounts einbrachte. Ebenfalls noch mit dabei aber bereits unter die 10 BB-Grenze gefallen sind Marc Gork (6 BB) und Jürgen Schäfer (8 BB).
Der Average liegt momentan bei knapp 20.000, was gerade einmal noch 13 BB entsprechen. Somit wird es morgen wohl sehr schnell gehen und die bezahlten Plätze sollten zeitnah erreicht werden. 117 Spieler werden bezahlt und 220 sind noch mit von der Partie. Chipleader ist Nikolai Yakovenko, allerdings sind noch einige gute Spieler vorne mit dabei. Allen voran wieder einmal Daniel Negreanu, der bisher einen sehr starken Auftakt bei der WSOP 2012 erleben durfte. Todd Brunson und Jeff Madsen befinden sich mit ihm in den Top Ten.
