Four Titan Poker Players Represent at Day 1 of WSOP Event #49

June 30th, 2010 by admin

Our Man Jucius – He’s Got Juice!

Day 1 of the World Series of Poker* Event #49 began yesterday at 12pm, Las Vegas time, with 2543 registered players. The four man Titan delegation included Team Titan member Marvin Rettenmaier from Germany, former Team Titan member Adam York from the United Kingdom, online qualifier Henry Schoucair from France, who won his seat through Titan Poker’s WSOP Warrior promotion, and online qualifier Antaris Jucius from Lithuania, who also won his seat at a Titan Poker side event.

Rettenmaier busted first, with York and Shoucair trailing closely behind. The day’s big surprise came from newcomer Jucius, who rose from total obscurity to become the only Titan Poker player who would progress to Day 2 of the event. Jucius’ glory trail continues tomorrow at table 361, seat 5, with a fat stack of 30,300 chips.

Good luck to our man from Lithuania!
