The €125 8-Game has kicked off with games rotating every orbit between limit hold-em, limit Omaha h/l, stud, razz, stud h/l, 2-7 triple draw, no-limit hold'em, and pot-limit Omaha.
The rules are a little different for the stud games this time around. Instead of each player putting in the ante, the player on the button will put in the antes for the entire table. The standard big blind ante will remain for the no-limit hold'em.
Dainius Antanaitis, Scott "Pokerbrahs" Kenyon, Mark Adams, Brenden Oystein, Svein Olav Eidsaeter, Mikael Gronvik, Jarkko Kuusisto, Imre Leibold, Kairit Leibold, Kjell Lindqvist, Sascha Manns, Davit Mikhanashvili, Alexander van Dijk, Axel Thoren, Julien Teissedre, and Sviten Special author Martin Smith are among the 50 players ready to battle.
Meanwhile, Allan Arjut was the first player to bust the PokerListings Championship on Day 2 and immediately entered the 8-Game.
"I busted the PokerListings Championship just to play the 8-game," joked Allan Arjut.
We learned later that Arjut just had four big blinds that he needed to speed up but he is happy that if he wasn't going to spin that he can play the 8-Game from the start.
Best of luck to all of the players in the field.
