Mittwoch um 23:00 Uhr (MEZ) fiel bei der World Series of Poker im Rio Las Vegas der Startschuss beim Event #45. Gefragt waren die High Stakes Spieler beim $25.000 High Roller Pot Limit Omaha Event.
Für die Teilnehmer ging es mit 150.000 in Chips los und am Tag 1 musste man zehn Level à 60 Minuten überstehen. Wie zu erwarten war gaben sich hier die Stars der PLO-Szene die Klinke in die Hand. Neben der 10k WSOP World Championship ist dieses Event das Poker-Highlight des Jahres für Omaha-Fans. Am Tag 1 durfte man 221 Entries verbuchen und damit sind es noch Neun weniger als im Vorjahr. Allerdings ist am Tag 2 noch, für die ersten beiden Level, die Late-Registration geöffnet und daher müssen wir auf die endgültigen Zahlen noch etwas warten. Nicht heil durch den Tag schafften es Johannes Becker (GER) und Jan-Peter Jachtmann (GER). Jan trat seine letzten Chips an Paul Volpe (USA) ab. Der Flop lag schon mit 
und nach dem Check von Jan spielte Paul Pot für 69.000. Jan überlegte lang und ging dann für ca. 81.000 mit 
All-In. Paul callte mit 
. Turn und River brachten 
und Jan war raus.
Am Ende des Tages durften noch 128 Akteure ihre Chips für Tag 2 eintüten. Den Chiplead konnte sich Keith Lehr (USA) mit 692.000 (230,5 Big Blinds) sichern. Als bester DACH-Spieler darf Anton Morgenstern (GER) auf Rang 29 mit 370.500 (123,5 Big Blinds) übernachten. Außerdem sind aus unseren Gefilden noch, Fabian Schoneck (GER – 75,5 Big Blinds), Christopher Frank (GER – 69,5 Big Blinds), Tobias Ziegler (GER – 68 Big Blinds) und Raphael Schreiner (AUT – 24 Big Blinds) mit im Rennen.
Am Donnerstag geht es um 23:00 Uhr (MEZ) mit Tag 2 im Level 11 bei Blinds 1.500/3.000 weiter. Der Average beträgt 260.156 (87 Big Blinds). Am Tag 2 werden zehn Level à 60 Minuten gespielt.
