Schon seit dem 30. September läuft an der amerikanischen Ostküste die WPT Maryland. Zwei Starttage und Tag 2 wurden bei einem Buy-In von $3.500 bereits gespielt und von den einst 561 Entries zogen lediglich 29 Spieler in den dritten Turniertag ein.
Mit 18 WPT-Cashes inklusive einem Final Table und aktuell an zweiter Position in den Counts, liegt US-Poker-Pro Matt Glantz aussichtsreich im Rennen. Die Chiplead hält jedoch momentan der relativ unbekannte US-Amerikaner Grigoriy Shvarts mit einem Stack von 1.562.000 Chips.
Von den bekannteren Spielern überstanden Ex-Champion Art Papazyan, Ari Engel und Christian Harder den zweiten Tag. Am heutigen Tag 3 wird das Feld bis auf sechs Spieler heruntergespielt. Einen Tag später stiegt das Finale um die $389.405 Siegprämie für den neuen Champion.
