Nach 122 Spielern zum Auftakt meldeten sich beim $5.000 Main Event der WPT Gardens am zweiten Starttag 1B weitere 171 Teilnehmer an.
Mit von der Partie waren so klangvolle Namen wie John Cynn, Shannon Shorr, Byron Kaverman oder Max Pescatori, die sich diese WPT-Station in der Nähe von Los Angeles nicht entgehen lassen wollten.
Nach Marvin Rettenmaier am Vortag gingen vergangene Nacht auch gleich mehrere deutsche Profis an den Start.
Richtig gut lief es dabei für Marius Gierse, der sich mit 117.000 Chips auf Platz 14 klassieren konnte. Auch Timo Kamphues (62.500 Chips), Manig Löser (44.600 Chips), Daniel Smiljkovic (35.900 Chips) und Lars Kamphues (29.400 Chips) erreichten den zweiten Turniertag.
Da zu Beginn von Tag 2 noch die Late Reg möglich ist, steht bisher weder die endgültige Teilnehmerzahl noch die Preisgeldverteilung fest.
Bislang haben sich 293 Spieler eingekauft und 158 von ihnen dürfen morgen wiederkommen. Rund $1,5 Millionen liegen derzeit im Preisgeldtopf, einige Entries werden aber sicher noch dazukommen.
Hier das Ergebnis von Tag 1B der WPT Gardens (das bisher leider nur in dieser Form vorliegt):
