A couple of hands later, there was a raise to 1,500 from under the gun and Kiriopoulos just called from the small blind. The big blind three-bet to 5,700 and the initial raiser called. Kiriopoulos stuck in a four-bet to 21,700 and got both of his opponents to fold.

Alors que les premiers qualifiés du Main Event WSOP 2021 disputaient déjà leur Jour 2, la sixième et dernière journée de départ se disputait en simultané au Rio de Las vegas, dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi.
1 045 entrées ont été comptabilisées sur ce Flight et 785 joueurs ont emballé des jetons (pour le Jour 2cef) parmi eux au moins 49 tricolores... de quoi permettre au contingent français pour le Day 2 de passer la barre des 100 unités !
Après cinq niveaux de deux heures, c'est Adam Walton qui a emballé 334 000 jetons pour terminer en tête du Jour 1f. Walton a construit son tapis durant le dernier level, notamment en remportant deux mains contre Frederic Normand!
Tung Nguyen est l'unique joueur à avoir aussi multiplié son tapis de départ par 5 pour ensacher plus de 300 000 jetons aussi. Ryan Hartmann a connu une belle journée d'ouverture aussi, tout comme Rob Mizrachi... mais pas de quoi faire de l'ombre à Phil Hellmuth.
Juste avant le dinner-breal Phil Hellmuth a fait son apparition dans l'Amazon Room... juste à côté d'Arthur Conan. Le Poker Brat n'a joué que deux niveaux pour emballer 94 500 jetons alors que le Breton n'a pas franchi l'obstacle.
Le retraité Fedor Holz (161,600) n'a pas résisté à l'appel des cartes et a passé la première haie tout comme Scotty Nguyen (52,200) ou Chris Moneymaker (75,800) qui s'est lui aussi décidé à venir in-extremis. Nguyen et Mizrachi(212 000) ont passé la journée à la Table de la Mort où l'on retrouvait aussi Felipe Ramos et Harald Sammer, deux joueurs qui sont passés avec le tapis de départ.
