Chris Moorman Dominates First Day of Ante Only Event
 

Day 1 of Event 45 $1500 Ante Only tournament has come to an end. 678 players started the day. This was a drop from the 939 that entered last year's inaugural Ante Only tournament. This year's event brought a prize pool of $915,300. There would be 72 players to enjoy those riches with each guaranteed $2,581. Only one player could win the top prize and the gold bracelet. That top prize equated to $201,399.

In this very interesting format players were given a starting stack of 4,500 in chips. There were no blinds but only antes. Each player started the day having to ante 25 chips each. By the end of the day they were anteing 400 each. This created a lot of action and many multi-way pots. Some people could not handle or figure out the structure but others handled it as a way to dominate their competition.

One player to have no troubles with this Ante Only format was the chip leader Chris Moorman. He found every opportunity to gain many chips from his opponents. At the end of the day he took his starting stack of 4,500 and turned it into a monster stack of 143,900. His next closet competitor Sam Panzica had 118,000. Other notables who stayed on top of the counts were Aaron Massey (99,200), Gabriel Nassif (89,500), Allen Cunningham (83,400), and David Vamplew (78,000).

Again if I see proper chip counts or a seat draw for tomorrow I will pop them up as a lot of UK players aren't mentioned

Ante up always gonna be won by online wizard. Moorman would qualify for that category.

According to the updates, Mr Moorman's final table starts at 12:45 Vegas time, so 8:45pm UK time.

Is this likely to be well attended?

[George2Loose]

I'd imagine so Tal. He is the captain

Good luck to him as he hopes to close out our first bracelet of the summer

Event #48: Limit Hold'em / Six Handed


    Buy-in: $2,500
    Prizepool: $780,325
    Entries: 343
    Remaining: 144

Very little British presence in this one, unsurprisingly. Hellmuth appears to be making a run, in the top thirty of the chip counts. Bakes has a top ten stack as he aims for yet another WSOP final
