Day: 1
Vigeant and Firsau Bag Big on Day 1 of Event #11: $1,500 Limit Hold'em
The other event to kick off on Tuesday was Event #11: $1,500 Limit Hold'em. The tournament attracted 660 runners and created a prize pool of $891,000, with $196,055 of that going to the eventual winner.
Players who thrived on Day 1 were Francois Vigeant and Vasili Firsau, who finished as the top two stacks. Others who advanced to Day 2 were Chris Tryba, Brock Parker, and Joe Kuether, just to name a few.
Of course not everyone was so lucky. Among those to fall were Michael Mizrachi, Sam Barnhart, Brandon Shack-Harris, Daniel Negreanu, Jonathan Little, Phil Hellmuth, Huck Seed, and Antonio Esfandiari.
Day 2 will get underway with 225 players at 2 p.m. local time on Wednesday, which is also when two new events – Event #12: $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em and Event #13: $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or Better – will kick off.
