Acht Levels gespielt – das Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better geht nach Tag 1 in die verdiente Pause. Beim Event 15 haben sich 212 Spieler für $5.000 eingekauft. Im Preispool liegt knapp eine Million Dollar. Es sind noch 137 Spieler dabei. Der letzte verbliebene deutschsprachige Spieler ist Paolo Compagno aus der Schweiz.
Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht sind Ismael Bojang und Paolo Compagno in den Tag gestartet. Leider zählte Bojang unter die Bust-Outs. Besser lief es hingegen bei Compagno, der seinen Stack gut ausbauen konnte.
Mit 34.700 Chips liegt der Schweizer Paolo Compagno auf Platz 26. Im Moment ist das eine sehr aussichtsreiche Position auf die 24 bezahlten Plätze. Noch im Rennen sind bekannte Namen wie Barry Greenstein (Rang 12 mit 43.100 Chips), Phil Ivey (Rang 15 / 40.100) und Eli Elezra, der sich mit knapp 40.000 Chips einen Platz dahinter befindet. Phil Hellmuth (26,6 K) und Mike Matusow (15,5) sind ebenfalls noch mit von der Partie. Hingegen sieht es bei Daniel Negreanu nicht ganz so rosig aus. Mit den verbliebenen 3.300 Chips muss er auf einen baldigen Aufdoppler hoffen.
