Gleich zum Auftakt der WSOP wurde vergangene Nacht ein prestigeträchtiges Turnier gestartet.
Beim WSOP Event #2, dem $25.000 H.O.R.S.E., meldeten sich 73 Spieler an, darunter so große Namen wie Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth oder Mike Matusow.
Auch ein deutschsprachiger Spieler war mit Johannes Becker dabei, und der Bracelet-Gewinner von 2018 legte nach verhaltenem Start einen guten Tag 1 hin.
Mit 183.000 Chips liegt er im Mittelfeld und hat morgen noch alle Chancen.
In Führung liegt aktuell Chad Eveslage vor John Monnette, Mike Matusow liegt auf Platz 5.
