Am Dienstagabend fiel im „Horseshoe“ und „Paris“ Hotel am Las Vegas Strip der Startschuss für die 54th Annual World Series of Poker 2023. Hier werden bis zum 18. Juli 2023 insgesamt 95 WSOP-Bracelet vergeben.
Los ging es am Dienstag mit den ersten beiden Bracelet-Events. Traditionell startet alles mit dem $500 Casinos Employees Event nur für Casino-Mitarbeiter. Außerdem waren die High Roller beim $25.000 NLH High Roller 6-Max Event #2 gefragt.
Event #2 – $25.000 NLH High Roller 6-Max Event
Als erstes für alle offenes Turnier wurde am Dienstag um 23:00 Uhr (MEZ) das $25.000 NHL High Roller 6-Max Event #2 gestartet. Hier gab es eine Startdotation von 150.000 (150 Big Blinds) und es wurden acht Levels à 60 Minuten gespielt. Da die Late-Registration und der Re-Entry noch bis zum Start von Tag 2 möglich sind, müssen wir auf die endgültigen Zahlen noch etwas warten.
Bereits am Tag 1 durfte man hier 187 Entries verbuchen und es liegen bereits deutlich über $4.000.000 im Preispool. Am Tag 1 mussten uns schon Karten-Cracks wie Weltmeister Koray Aldemir (GER), Alex Foxen (USA), Mikita Badziakouski (BLR) oder auch Erik Seidel (USA) wieder verlassen. Am Ende des Tages durften noch 58 High Roller ihre Chips für Tag 2 eintüten.
Den Chiplead holte sich der Österreicher Daniel Rezaei mit 1.368.000 (137 Big Blinds) vor Justin Liberto (USA) mit 1.147.000 (115 Big Blinds). Außerdem sind noch Bignames wie Shaun Deeb (USA), Justin Bonomo (USA), Phil Hellmuth (USA), Jason Koon (USA), Freedy Deeb (USA), Adrian Mateos (ESP) oder auch Daniel Negreanu (CAN) mit von der Partie.
Tag 2 startet am Mittwoch um 21:00 Uhr (MEZ) im Level 9 bei Blinds 5.000/10.000 (Big Blind Ante). Dann werden zehn Levels à 60 Minuten gespielt. Der Sieger wird erst im Finale am Donnerstag ermittelt.
