Nível 16
: 2,500/5,000, 625 ante
Day 1 of the PokerStars WCOOP-72-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event] has come to an end after 16 levels of 25 minutes had been played. During those first 16 levels, 6,500 entries were collected to create a prize pool of $3,250,000 which easily surpasses the initial $2,000,000 guarantee that was set.
Brazil's Guilherme "Guizãoo_" Carmo claimed the chip lead with 1,786,242 and won a bunch of those chips when he took out Alen "lilachaa" Bilic with a full house. Carmo is followed in the counts by Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen who jumped toward the top when he eliminated "OMGitsMacsim" when he turned the straight against the top pair and flush draw of the latter.
Completing the top five are "Sektor17" (1,319,456), "Netstorm" (1,268,460), and Adam "ISmellToast" Crawford with 1,247,007. But with over 2,000 players returning for Day 2 and the late registration still open, many more familiar names and faces are still in the race.
Lonnie "thx4urm0n3y" Hallett, PokerStars Ambassador Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas, Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov, Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro, Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov, Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, and Cristian "Progre69" Sampaoli are just some of the players who can be found in the top 50.
