Schlag auf Schlag geht es bei der WSOP 2018, und mit Event #22 wurde das nächste Turnier gestartet.
Allround-Fähigkeiten werden hier beim $1.500 Eight Game verlangt, was viele bekannte Spieler wie Barry Greenstein, Phil Ivey oder Phil Hellmuth auf den Plan rief.
Die Genannten schafften aber genauso wenig den Sprung in Tag 2 wie unsere deutschen Starter Johannes Becker, Ismael Bojang und Andreas Klatt.
Insgesamt meldeten sich 481 Spieler an, die damit um einen vergleichsweise bescheidenen Preisgeldtopf von knapp $650.000 kämpfen.
In Führung liegt nach Tag 1 Jon Turner, aus deutschsprachiger Sicht sind noch die beiden Österreicher Ivo Donev und Arthur Resetschnig dabei.
