Vorgestern noch in Los Angeles, heute bereits in Athens – die World Poker Tour ist schwer unterwegs und trägt seit vorgestern das WPT Rolling Thunder aus.
383 Spieler bezahlten das Startgeld von $3.500 an den beiden Starttagen, und bislang sind 212 Spieler für Tag 2 qualifiziert.
Wie immer bei der WPT ist bis zum Beginn von Tag 2 die Late Registration möglich, sodass der definitive Preisgeldtopf noch nicht feststeht.
Mit im Feld waren viele bekannte, vor allem amerikanische Profis wie JC Tran, Joe McKeehen oder Lee Markholt.
Den besten Start erwischte Dean Freedlander mit 163.900 Chips, doch auch Anthony Zinno und Ari Engel tüteten weit über 100.000 Chips ein und liegen damit im absoluten Vorderfeld.
Deutschsprachige Spieler sind nach aktuellem Stand nicht (mehr) von der Partie, wie erwähnt besteht das Feld vorwiegend aus Amerikanern.
