Event 7: Nice Early Crowd

$360 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 2: 50/100
Players: 67

Michael Newman

In a freezeout format, players tend to hit the tables earlier than normal and we’re seeing a nice group here this afternoon. With 67 players in the game so far, they are well on the way to hitting the $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Michael Newman is among them and trying to hit double digits in SHRP wins. He has success in short-handed games and he took home the $570 Pot Limit Omaha Six-Max title a few months ago during the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open.

Event 7: Six-Max Freezeout

$360 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 1: 25/50

It will be another busy day in the ballroom and we’re starting off with a player favorite, a $360 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament played in a short-handed format.

Event 7 features a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool, six-handed tables, and only one shot at the title per player. It is a freezeout, no re-entries if someone loses their stack.

Players start with 10,000 in their stack and work their way through 30-minute levels. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm but if a player busts out, they are done for the day in this tournament. There will be a dinner break around 6:30pm and they’ll return to play down to our Event 7 champion.

They’ll get underway at noon and we expect a great turnout for the first freezeout of the series.
