Andras Nemeth Leads WPT World Online Championships Main Event Day 1a
From a field of 390 players, just 59 advanced to Day 2 of the WPT World Online Championships Main Event on partypoker.
Leading the way is Andras Nemeth who is the only player above four million in chips. Back in February, Nemeth chopped the MILLIONS Online #12 6-Max High Roller Turbo for $74,000, but should be in line for a lot more should he go on to win this tournament.
Also through to Day 2 include partypoker Team Online's Jeff Gross who sits in the middle of the pack, with fellow Ambassadors Joao Simao, Jamie Staples and Joni Jouhkimainen all falling short.
