World Poker Tour At The Seminole Hard Rock In Hollywood Florida
The first major live poker tournament since Black Friday in the United States kicked off Wednesday with the World Poker Tour at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood Florida. One of the unknowns coming into the tournament was wether or not sponsored pros would show up wearing their patches.
Only 13 players were found wearing either a Full Tilt Poker or a Ultimate Bet patch. The one “big three” site that did not have a single patched up player was PokerStars, even though WPT regular and PokerStar Pro Jason Mercier was in the field
Former WPT Legends of Poker final tablist Todd Terry is the chip leader after the first two days of play at Florida’s first ever World Poker Tour’s $10,000 main event at the Seminole Hard Rock casino. There are 145 players remaining from the original 433 who will play Day 3 on Friday.
Friday will see the elimination of roughly 100 players as they play down to the money which begins at $22,862. The winner of the event will take home $1,122,340
Notables to head home on Day 2 included Kathy Liebert who won a $500 two hour keeping silent prop bet, Lauren Kling, William Reynolds, Anthony “holdplz” Spinella,
Some poker pros still in the running include James “croll103” Carroll (17th – 164,200), Mike Sexton (27th – 135,000), David Paredes (33rd – 130,600) and Adam “Roothlus” Levy (38th – 118,700)
