Gabe Patgorski Leads After Day 1 of Event #8: $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em
Niveau 8
: 0/0, 1,000 ante
It’s a wrap for Day 1 of the first ever $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold’em event at the World Series of Poker. A total of 61 entry slips were sold today, but only 18 competitors bagged chips at the conclusion of Day 1. With late registration still being open till the start of Level 11 on Day 2 (around 5:15 p.m), these numbers are not final.
Leading the way in what was a star-studded field is Gabe Patgorski with 388,800 chips. Patgorski was near the top of the leaderboard during most of the day. He has been playing poker professionally for 14 years and has been around Short Deck poker since it’s very beginning. Patgorski is considered to be one of the most experienced Short Deck players in the world. He will be using his experience to try to claim his first WSOP bracelet. Alex Epstein sits in second with 323,000 while Anson Tsang rounds up the top three with 307,400. Tsang will be looking to add another bracelet to his collection, after winning the €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed event at the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe last October for €91,730.
Numerous big names made it through alongside the chip leaders, including bracelet winners Galen Hall, (266,000), Ben Lamb (209,300), Jason Somerville (123,600), and Justin Bonomo (107,300).
Unfortunately, not all of the fan favorites who took a shot at this new WSOP event advanced to Day 2. Erik Seidel, David Peters, Sam Higgs, and Anthony Zinno, were all taken out. Daniel Negreanu couldn’t find a bag either. He was forced to use his add-on during the last level of the night and was eliminated shortly after.
Cards will be back in the air at 3 p.m. on Monday, June 3rd. The plan for Day 2 is to play 8 levels of 60 minutes each. Keep it here for continuing coverage of Event #8: $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em and throughout the 2019 World Series of Poker from the PokerNews Live Reporting Team.

There was a ten on the flop of

Hall now sits on more than 300,000 chips with less than one level remaining. Meanwhile, Leonard heads off to contemplate re-entering tomorrow which, judging by his Twitter account, looks highly likely.
