Bei WSOP Event #70 kommen noch einmal die Limit-Spezialisten zum Zug, die es etwas gemächlicher haben möchten.
221 Spieler meldeten sich zum $3.000 Limit Hold’em 6-Handed an und sorgten damit für einen recht übersichtlichen Preisgeldtopf von knapp $600.000.
Mit von der Partie waren einige bekannte Spieler wie Jonathan Duhamel, Joe McKeehen oder Phil Hellmuth, die aber alle schon ihre Sachen packen mussten.
Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht versuchten Koray Aldemir und Thomas Mühlöcker ihr Glück, während „WushuTM“ ausschied, darf Aldemir morgen wiederkommen.
In Führung liegt der Brite Benny Glaser, der wie Nicholas Seiken über 100.000 Chips sammeln konnte.
