WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open: Jaime Rubinsteyn leads the running
The World Poker Tour (WPT) Lucky Hearts Poker Open started on last Friday in the poker room of Seminole Coconut Creek casino of Florida. The event endowed with a re-entry format gathered a total field of 415 participants, among whom 183 registered in the Day 1A. At the end of this first day of competition, they were only167 players in the running. Jaime Rubinsteyn was on the top of the list with 234,600 chips in hands. Chipleader of the Day 1B, he has challenged numerous professionals of poker following the example of David Paredes, Adam Levy and Andy Frankenberger, who have attempted their chance again in the Day 1B, after an elimination during the Day 1A. It was also the case of the former WPT champion Shawn Cunix, Marsha Wolak as well as Aaron Massey.
The champion of the WPT Legends of Poker 2013, Jordan Cristos, is also in the top 10 of the field of the Day 2. As a reminder, this player has ousted Dan Heimiller during the final duel of this tournament that crowned him and has been entitled with the trophy and the first prize of $613,355. Cristos ended the Day 1 as chipleader, with 205,200 chips in hands. He is outstripped by Rubinsteyn and Michael Moreno. The second day of competition started yesterday February, 9th 2014. It remains to be seen if Cristos will be entitled with a historic double. Let us note that the paid places are going to be composed by 54 players. The winner will receive a bonus of $271,103 and a ticket for the WPT Championship, which is going to be held in the month of April of this year. He will be also entitled with the WPT ChampionsÂ’ Cup.
