Eine Neuheit der diesjährigen WSOP 2018 ist, dass in einigen Events mit Big Blind Ante gespielt wird. Um das Spiel live noch schneller voranzutreiben, wird dieses Format bereits von vielen Turnierveranstaltern bevorzugt und auch bei den meisten Spielern kommt diese Variante gut an. In Event #13 bezahlten 1.306 Starter den Buy-In von $1.500, um sich selbst davon zu überzeugen. Nach Tag 1 sind noch 224 Akteure übrig, damit beginnt der zweite Turniertag direkt in der heißen Bubble-Phase, wo bis zum Min-Cash noch 28 Spieler leer ausgehen werden.
Die Chiplead eroberte an Tag 1 der US-Amerikaner Stephen Song, zwei Plätze dahinter konnte sich 2016 Main Event Sieger Qui Nguyen positionieren. Aus der deutschsprachigen Riege eine Runde weiter gekommen sind Jan Christoph von Halle, Andreas Klatt, Dominik Nitsche, Manig Löser und Felix Bleiker. Während es für von Halle, Klatt und Löser wohl problemlos für einen Cash reichen sollte, beginnen Nitsche und Bleiker als Shortstacks aus den unteren Regionen der Counts. Auf den Sieger des Events warten $315.346 bei einem erreichten Preispool von $1.763.100.
