The Purple Chip Bounty is about to hit some big milestones as the night gets deep. They are ready to head off on their final break of the day, they are one elimination away from a two-table redraw, and three eliminations away from making the money.

There are still some big names around including Michael LaRocca (pictured), David Somers, Manny Minaya, and John Magnetta.

Registration closed on the Purple Chip Bounty event after their short dinner break and the big buy-in tournament created a huge prize pool. Event 6 had a $100,000 Guarantee attached but the 122 entries combined for a prize pool over $180,000 between the regular and bounty pool.

The last 16 players will bank some money with a min-cash taking $2,379 and the winner earning $35,378 along with the LHPO trophy some time tomorrow.

They will play through Level 16 and survivors will bag up their chips for a return tomorrow at 2pm.

Level 1: 25/50

While the WPTDeepStacks event plays down this afternoon, the 2018 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open schedule presents players with a chance to earn some big money in another event.

Event 6 is the popular $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty event with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool and a slow, two-day schedule that will give players a lot of play in the game. They can also pick up a $500 cash chip for each player they knock out along the way.

The tournament gives each entrant a 12,000 starting stack and they will play 30-minute levels as long as registration is open. Late registration and re-entries will lockdown at the start of Level 11 at 9 pm and levels will increase to 40 minutes for the duration.

Day 1 will come to an end after 16 full levels and survivors will return on Monday for Day 2.

This tournament always attracts a talented field and it’s a fine warmup for the bigger games on the horizon. They kick things off at 3 pm and we’ll keep an eye on them until the wrap this evening.
