Justin Schwartz Near The Top of the Counts
Yesterday a total of 939 players posted up cash to buy into Event 49: $1,500 Ante-Only No-Limit Hold'em which is the first ante-only event ever offered at the World Series of Poker. Astoundingly enough, the field was reduced quite quickly with tables breaking left and right throughout play yesterday. The players were about to pop the money bubble and now the final 110 will return for Day 2 play. Leading the field is Sameer Al Janedi with 177,000.
Many notable players came out to play this event yesterday only to find themselves among the majority and out of the tournament. Eugene Katchalov, Scott Clements, Vanessa Rousso, Bertrand Grospellier, Joe Cada, Jennifer Tilly, David Sklansky, Adam Junglen, and Phil Hellmuth were just some of the names to hit the rail yesterday.
While tons of known players missed out on the chance to capture this history WSOP bracelet, others are still in the hunt. Players to return to Day 2 include Justin Schwartz (104,000), Jon Turner (97,800), Erick Lindgren (71,400), Mike McDonald (68,500), Melanie Weisner (48,100), Jeff Madsen (47,300), Dan O'Brien (36,100), John Racener (16,700) and many more.
For those just catching up with our coverage of this event, it is played in a unique matter. The game is standard no limit hold'em but there are no blinds on the table. Rather, every player antes every hand and action begins with the player to the left of the button. That player then has the option to fold their hand or begin the betting.
Be sure to also stop by and check out the coverage of the final table of Event 45: $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi leads the way and looks to once again win the very same event that gave him his first bracelet back in 2010.
Players are moments away from hitting the felt in the purple section of the Amazon Room. Stay tuned for all of the latest updates here on PokerNews
