Das erste 8-Game Event der WSOP 2013 ist gestartet. Passenderweise ist es das achte offizielle Event in diesem Jahr und 388 Spieler haben $2.500 bezahlt um daran teilzunehmen.
Von ehemals 388 Teilnehmern beim $2.500 8 Game Event sind noch 164 mit von der Partie. Natürlich versammelt sich hier alles was Rang und Namen hat und so werden wir zahlreiche Top-Pros heute Abend wiedersehen. Unter anderem befinden sich Zimnan Ziyard, Andy Boch und Scott Seiver in den Top Ten. Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht sind Grzegorz Derkowski (Foto), Tobias Hausen, Samuel Gerber und Josef Kacherl noch dabei.
Früh an die Rails mussten unter anderem die Team PokerStars Pros Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein, Eugene Katchalov und Jason Mercier sowie Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, Victor Ramdin und Vitaly Lunkin.
Die Payouts stehen ebenfalls fest. 40 Spieler werden bezahlt und auf den Sieger warten $225.000.
