Ashton au top, quatre tricolores passent le Jour 1
Niveau 6
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Quatre sur cinq pour les Français. Bertrand Grospellier (367,900), Fabrice Soulier (280,000), Bruno Fitoussi (210 000) et Alexandre Luneau (187 000) ont franchi la première journée du tournoi de variantes à 50 000$ l'entrée, l'Event WSOP #61 Poker Players Championship qui se dispute en 6-Max.
Avec six niveaux de 100 minutes au programme de la journée d'ouverture et une structure ultra-profonde, six joueurs seulement ont sauté. Ils sont donc 87 à avoir emballé des jetons pour le Jour 2, moment où les inscriptions seront closes. Un tricolore fait partie de la charrette des bustos : David Benyamine.
Le Frenchie de Las Vegas a accompagné Ben Sulsky, Dan Cates, Dan Shak, Iraj Parvizi et Jared Bleznick dans le rail.
Avec 93 entrants pour le moment, contre 91 l'an passé, le tournoi se situe dans la moyenne des 3 dernières années au niveau de l'affluence et le vainqueur, le joueur le plus complet, repartira avec plus d'un million de dollars.

Vainqueur en 2013 pour 1,7 millions de dollars, Matthew Ashton s'est installé en tête en emballant 705 500 jetons. Le Britannique a bien rentabilisé ses 250 000 jetons de départ en éliminant notamment SUlsky lors du dernier niveau de la journée, en PLO. Aaron Katz s'installe en deuxième position avec 682 000 alors que le quadruple vainqueur WSOP Robert Mizrachi a ensaché 485 500 jetons pour compléter le podium.
Daniel Alaei, Marco Johnson, James Obst, Johnny Chan, Adam Owen, Isaac Haxton, Timofey Kuznetsov, Justin Bonomo, Daniel Negreanu et Dzmitry Urbanovich (qualifié sur un satellite live), Dan Smith, Paul Volpe et David Oppenheim ont plutôt bien démarré le tournoi qui regroupe les plus grandes stars du jeu, un tournoi à suivre en direct sur PokerNews dans la nuit de lundi à mardi...

Original David Baker Folds the River
Niveau 6
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Omaha Hi-Lo
Brian Rast was on the button, facing off with small blind David "ODB" Baker.
They were on the 
turn that had already discarded any possibility of a low, making this pot likely to end up scooped by one of the players. Baker check-called.
The 
on the river seemed to be a brick, and Baker checked again to see Rast fire one more time. Baker leaned back in his chair, visibly unhappy to make either a fold or a call. He counted his remaining chips and decided to let it go.
