Level 6: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Flight G Entries: 589

There was a three-way all-in at Neil Blumenfield’s table and they had the chips in quickly. A late position short-stacked player opened, the small blind shoved for 12,300 and Blumenfield moved all in from the big blind for 12,000.

The opener wasted no time putting his 6,400 in the middle for the snappy big hand.

Small Blind:
Blumenfield:
Late Position:

Blumenfield was ahead with the queens and took a bigger lead on the flop with no one holding a spade. The turn had the small blind drawing dead but the short stack picked up a gutshot draw. The river changed nothing to send Blumenfield up to 31,000 while knocking one player out and the other down.

Level 5: 150/300 with a 25 ante
Flight G Entries: 533

Flight G players returned to their seats and they are chasing two big stacks at the top of the counts.

Yuriy Kozinskiy is grinding away in the meeting room and missed how he ran up his stack. He’s the early leader with 75,000 and there is only one player is close by. We watched Mohammad Saadeghvaziri pick up a lot of his chips with aces versus kings early and he sits in second with 70,000.

Top ten stacks:

1. Yuriy Kozinskiy – 75,000 (250 bb)
2. Mohammad Saadeghvaziri – 70,200 (234 bb)
3. Trent Trimble – 56,000 (187 bb)
4. Julio Benmargui – 54,000 (180 bb)
5. Rod Rodriguez – 51,500 (172 bb)
6. Craig Kuhlmeier – 50,400 (168 bb)
7. Thomas Gari – 50,225 (167 bb)
8. Alexander Quinones – 50,000 (167 bb)
9. Jeffrey Fogel – 50,000 (167 bb)
10. Larry Herchsfeld – 45,625 (152 bb)

The huge Flight G crowd is taking off on its first break of the day with more than 500 already spread throughout the ballroom and meeting room.

We’ll take this first shot at finding the big stacks in the room while they are away.

Sheddy Siddiqui made his first appearance of the series but ran into an early cooler to send him to the registration desk.

The Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member opened under the gun and four-bet shoved all in for 11,050 after the big blind raised it to 3,000. The big blind quickly called and he was in trouble.

Siddiqui:
Big Blind:

He needed to catch his ace or some magic cards but the board blanked to end that shot.

Flight G Entries: 372

The Ultimate Re-Entry format provides players with a different, unique opportunity to earn some money. They had a choice to enter as many flights as fit their schedule and did not have to wait until Sunday afternoon to hit the payout cage.

If a player moves multiple stacks forward to Day 2, they’ll play their biggest stack after getting paid $2,500 for their smaller stack(s). And they can keep trying until registration closes on Flight H tonight at 11:45pm.

So far, we’ve had 15 players take advantage of the opportunity and bank $2,500 before playing a hand on Sunday. Three of those players managed to survive three flights to pick up two Multi-stack awards. Nicholas Cookedorfer, Adam Koppel, and Ismail Patel have already cashed out for $5,000 and they have two more chances to do it again.

Multi-stack Award winners:

• Nicholas Cookendorfer*
• Adam Koppel*
• Ismail Patel*
• Cary Alter
• William Corvino
• Julien Durity
• Luis Fernandez
• Drew Johnson
• Gaston Miculitzki
• Hector Pacheco
• Ariel Rosello Quintana (pictured)

Level 2: 50/100
Flight G Entries: 340

Flight G was always going to be big with plenty of players wanting to take their shot on a nice Saturday afternoon. But it’s turning out to be an even bigger day than some anticipated in both the ballroom and meeting room.

More than 300 entries were in the game at the halfway point of Level 2 and the prize pool officially surpassed $750,000 with entry number 316. They aren’t slowing down and we should see 350 entries before the clock moves from morning to afternoon.

Mohammad Saadeghvaziri wasted no time building up his stack this morning. They were only 15 minutes into the start of the day when his monster was bigger than his opponent’s monster.

After a series of raises, Gui Van put all his chips in the middle and did not have to wait long for Saadeghvaziri to make the snap call.

Saadeghvaziri:
Van:

Van was in a lot of trouble with a tough cooler and Saadeghvaziri jumped further out front on the flop. The turn gave Van a gutshot draw but he was already walking out the door before the river sent Saadeghvaziri the big, early double up.

Update: Van walked away but he still had 450 after the stacks were counted down. He was tracked down and returned to play his short stack.

Level 1: 25/50

The Ultimate Re-Entry event has run six flights over three days, blasted past the $500,000 Guarantee, and it all comes down to the final day with two flights to lock it down. The tournament has already combined to put 2,184 entries in the prize pool and we should see a huge crowd on a Saturday afternoon.

This format allows players to enter as many flights as they wish and they are rewarded for advancing multiple stacks into Day 2. That occurred 19 times over the first six flights with those stacks earning their owner a $2,500 Multi-stack award.

Players return today with a chance to pad their bankroll early and try to run it up tomorrow. They’ll sit down to 15,000 starting stacks with 30-minute levels today. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 13 at 5:45pm and play will continue until only 10% of the field remains. Those survivors will return tomorrow already in the money and they will play their biggest stack.

The ballroom will be packed today and it should be an exciting afternoon of poker.

Level 5: 150/300 with a 25 ante
Flight F Entries: 346

As Flight E prepares for hand-for-hand on the bubble, Flight F is busy building itself a huge field in the early stages. They have 346 entries in the game at the first break to outpace Flight E earlier this afternoon. That sets them up for a big number later tonight when registration closes at 11:45pm.

Michael Fiorenza returned from break to the biggest stack in their flight but his 62,625 is only a bit better than William Valladares’ 60,000. There’s still plenty of time for others to catch them before the end of the evening.
