WPT Venice Main Event: A great start for Stephen Behm
After the British capital, the World Poker Tour (WPT) continues its trip on the Old Continent. Since the beginning of this week, its on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, on the shores of Lido San Nicolò, and Chioggia, in Venice, that the tournament stopped. The WPT Venice Main Event began on Tuesday with the participation of 65 players from around the world. This event of 3,300 entrance fee allowed Stephen Behm to lead temporarily face to top players like Matt Salsberg, Mike Sexton, Gaelle Baumann, Kara Scott, Marvin Rettenmaier, Daniel Cates, Martin Staszko and Guillaume Darcourt. The day was very short for some because pro players like Andrey Pateychuk and Guillaume Darcourt were forced to leave the game at the 3rd level. Then, the series continued with the elimination of the runner-up of the WSOP 2011, Martin Staszko. We also find in the list of eliminated of the Day 1A Andrea Dato, Ludovic Lacay, Sandor Demjan, Henry Koivisto, Mario Adinolfi, Jackson Genovesi and Benjamin Pollak.
At the end of the day, 32 players managed to qualify for the Day 2 with Stephen Behm as chip leader. Behm leads the pack with 188,000 chips but players like Marvin Rettenmaier, Mike Sexton, Kara Scott and Daniel Cates were behind despite the difference in chips at the end of the day. Among the survivors of the day during this poker tournament, there are Armando Donnini, Socrates Ioannides, Rullo Gianluca Rocco Palumbo, Lauri Pesonen, John Eames, Alessio Isaia, Efim Rudnik ... The Day 1B of the WPT Venice Grand Prix has also already begun at Casino di Venezia Ca Vendramin Calergi. A larger attendance is expected, Phil Hellmuth confirmed his participation.
