WPT World Championship

The pros who are not already in Monaco or on their way to the #EPTGrandFinal can only be in one other place: across the Atlantic, at the Borgata. The $15,400 buy-in WPT World Championship is drawing a star-studded field of players and Day 1B is just beginning as we write.

Some of the champs who busted yesterday were @Chris Moorman @Ryan Riess and @Eugene Katchalov . Eliminated players may re-enter today and Riess and Katchalov are among the ones firing their second bullets.

Players to watch out for among the 62 (out of 105) Day 1A survivors include @Marvin Rettenmaier @Shannon Shorr @Phil Hellmuth and @Scott Seiver.

The Day1A chip leader is @Paul Volpe whose live tournament earnings since 2008 amount to $2,446,632. Volpe had an amazing 2013 with 21 ITM at major tournaments (out of total 46 ITM finishes). He earned his biggest cash to date when he finished runner-up in the WPT LAPC Main Event for $651,170 and immediately followed up with a third place and $435,610 at the 2013 WPT Shooting Star.
