Event #60 – $50.000 Poker Players Championship – Day 1
Mit Spannung wurde der der Start der Poker Players Championship erwartet, DER Weltmeisterschaft für die Elite des Pokers. Nicht nur die $50.000 Buy-In legen die Latte für eine erfolgreiche Teilnahme sehr hoch, auch der Mix aus 9 verschiedenen Spielvarianten. Kein Wunder also, dass nur die Crème-de-la-Crème der Pokerwelt hier am Start war, u.a. auch die Gewinner der beiden letzten Ausgaben Daniel Negreanu und Michael Mizrachi, der mit 4 Gewinnen der legendären Chip Reese Trophy auch der Rekordhalter in diesem Event ist.
Mit 300.000 Chips ging es in die 100-minütigen Level von denen an Tag 1 die ersten 6 gespielt wurden. Das Jahres-Highlight in jedem Turnierkalender der besten Pokerpros ließen sich 87 Spieler nicht entgehen. Zu den 107 Teilnahmen aus dem Vorjahr ist zwar noch etwas Luft, dafür ist die Late Registration aber auch noch die ersten 3 Level am heutigen Tag 2 geöffnet – und die besten High Roller der Welt sind für ihre Spätstarts bekannt.
Bei ausschließlich großen Namen im Feld blieb es nicht aus, dass einige von ihnen schon an Tag 1 aus dem Freezeout, wie es jedes World Championship Event ist, ausschieden. Insgesamt 21 Spieler mussten ihre PPC-Titelhoffnungen zumindest bis ins nächste Jahr zurückstellen. Dazu gehörten u.a. Jeremy Ausmus, Scott Seiver, Joao Vieira, Blaz Zerjav aber auch der 3-malige Champion Daniel Cates, sowie der 4-fache Champion und Spontan-Hall-of-Famer Michael Mizrachi.
Chiptüten für Tag 2 konnten dagegen Pokerikonen wie Viktor Blom (108.000), Dan Smith (111.500), Shaun Deeb (159.000), Nick Schulman (177.000), Mike Matusow (295.000), Eli Elezra (325.000), Gus Hansen (401.500), Chance Kornuth (551.500), Jason Mercier (499.500) Daniel Negreanu (247.000) oder Max Kruse finden. Der deutsche Ex-Pfofi-Kicker, der ein ums andere Mal die Fußball-WM in Las Vegas verbrachte, ist nach Tag 1 die einzige Hoffnung auf einen deutschsprachigen Sieg bei der Poker Players Championship 2026. Nach Tag 1 hält der Braceletgewinner 173.500 Chips von seinem 300.000er Starting Stack.
In den Top-10 konnten sich u.a. Jesse Lonis (643.500), Josh Arieh (652.500), Chris Brewer (694.500) oder Chino Rheem (763.000) platzieren. Tag-1-Chipleader ist der US-Amerikaner Matt Glantz, der seinen Stack mehr als verdreifachen und auf 989.000 Chips ausbauen konnte. Dahinter liegt mit dem Briten Benny Glaser der vielleicht beste Mixed-Game-Turnierspieler der Welt mit 826.000 Chips. Sein Landsmann Robert Wells komplettiert die Top-3 mit 790.000 Jetons.
