Bereits 362 Starter stehen nach Tag 1 bei der $10.000 Big O Champoinship (#42) der World Series of Poker 2026 im Horseshoe & Paris Las Vegas zu Buche. Sascha Manns ist aktuell bester Deutscher.
Letztes Jahr brachte die Big O Championship starke 402 Entries, dieses Jahr könnten es durchaus mehr werden. Mit 60.000 Chips und 60 Minuten Levels ging es durch zehn Levels, 362 Entries wurden verbucht. Nur 132 Spieler blieben am Ende übrig, wobei sich William Kerkaert mit 500.500 Chips die Führung vor Chad Eveslage (489.000) sichern konnte. Auch Sam Soverel (5/437k), John Racener (9/375k) oder Dylan Linde (10/342k) sind hier unter den Big Stacks.
Die deutschsprachigen Spieler im Feld mischten nicht ganz vorne mit, Ausnahme ist Sascha Manns, der mit 211.500 Chips von Rang 35 aus in Tag 2 startet. Ebenfalls zu Tag 2 kommen auf jeden Fall Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht (97/83.500), Jeremy Trojand (115/63.500), Tobias Hausen (122/49.500) und Hanh Tran (124/45.500) wieder.
