In Los Angeles werden derzeit die LA Poker Classics ausgetragen und das Main-Event mit einem Buy-In von 10.000 Dollar zog über 500 Mitspieler an.
Mitspieler: 328 von 503
Buy-In: $9.600 + $400
Preispool: $4.828.800
Chipleader: Hung Tran
Damit bleibt die LAPC dem Trend treu, von Jahr zu Jahr etwas kleiner zu werden. Im Vorjahr nahmen beim Main-Event 534 Spieler teil, vor fünf Jahren waren es noch über 700.
Allerdings schrumpft das Turnier auf hohem Niveau und produziert weiterhin Preispools um die fünf Millionen Dollar. So haben sich die Teilnehmerzahlen in den letzten Jahren entwickelt:
| Jahr | Mitspieler | Preispool |
| 2010 | 745 | $7.152.000 |
| 2011 | 681 | $6.537.600 |
| 2012 | 549 | $5.270.400 |
| 2013 | 517 | $4.963.200 |
| 2014 | 534 | $5.126.400 |
Nach Tag 1 des Main-Events sind nun noch 328 Spieler im Rennen und mit Igor Kurganov (69k Chips), Max Altergott (42k), Marvin Rettenmaier (22k) und Dominik Nitsche (20) sind noch einige deutschsprachige Spieler mehr oder weniger gut dabei.
In Führung liegt derzeit Hung Tran mit 209.000 Chips (über 260 Big Blinds). Prominente Namen im vorderen Feld sind unter anderem Ryan Fee, Jonathan Jaffee, Matt Stout, David Baker, Shawn Buchanan, Carlos Mortensen oder auch Dan Smith.
