Last year, Jacob Snider was on the rail as he watched his brother, Bradley, defeat 594 entries in The Big 4’s $2,650 freeze-out. Bradley earned $246,400 for the victory and Jacob was all smiles supporting his brother in the winner’s circle.

Now, 12 months later, Jacob is looking to emulate his brother’s success with a Big 4 title of his own. Jacob is in the field in the $1,100 event and looks to add to the over $80,000 he owns in career earnings.

The field is steadily filling here at the beginning of Level 3. The number is fast approaching 300 entries with plenty of familiar faces among them. Two individuals we’ve seen no shortage of at the Seminole Hard Rock are Seminole Hard Rock Poker team members Matt Affleck and Darryll Fish.

Neeless to say, the pair does not lack tournament success. Most recently, Affleck finished runner-up in the $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty earning over $19,000 just two days ago. Fish, meanwhile, had a huge March finishing second in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship for more than $450,000.

The pair eyes continued success here in South Florida as they find themselves across from eachother at Table 57 for the first leg of The Big 4.

The $1,100 Big 4 tournament is off to a fast start with more than 200 in the game in the first level. A nice pace to kick off the $500,000 Guaranteed event.

We have yet to find defending champion Ruslan Dykshteyn but we did find 2011 WSOP Ladies Champion, Marsha Wolak. She made the final table of this event last year and finished in third place for more than $50,000.

Also in the field early, we found Jonathan Little, Cate Hall, WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess, and Luke Vrabel along with Seminole Hard Rock Poker team members Matt Affleck and Darryll Fish at the same table.

The preliminary tournaments are wrapped up and it’s time to kick off The Big 4 events of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown. Four tournaments with $6.5 million in guaranteed prize pools starting off with the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em event.

The first tournament has a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool that drew 828 entries last year. SHRP regular Ruslan Dykshteyn conquered a tough final table that included Phil Hui, Aaron Massey, Marsha Wolak, and Daniel Buzgon. He earned more than $150,000 for the title and he’ll be back today to defend.

Players sit down to 15,000 starting stacks and play 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration is open until the start of Level 12 at 5:30 p.m. with unlimited re-entries available during that time.
