Time To Turbocharge the Cadillac for Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em

Today at 2:10 p.m. local time will be the kickoff of the AU$2,200 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em event from the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific at Crown Melbourne.

Last year, the WSOP Asia-Pacific held a similar event, but with a buy-in of AU$5,000. That tournament attracted 167 entries and was won by Australian Aaron Lim for AU$233,800. With the buy-in less than half the amount, this year's field should be a much larger one in what is one of the most highly anticipated events of the festival.

Everyone knows no-limit Texas hold'em is the "Cadillac of poker," and short-handed no-limit Texas hold'em is the turbocharged version of that Cadillac. Expect fast and furious play from start to finish in this one, as aggression will take center stage.

With only a handful of players involved in action on Day 3 of the AU$5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha and Day 2 of the AU$1,650 8-Game Dealer's Choice events, plenty of faces will be chomping at the bit to chase another WSOP gold bracelet. The likes of Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, Jeff Lisandro, Jackie Glazier, Joe Hachem, Greg Merson, and Ryan Riess are all expected to be involved, plus Brandon Shack-Harris will be looking to continue putting up WSOP Player of the Year points.

Action will begin shortly, so stay tuned right here to PokerNews.com.
