The Day 1C field just hit 676 entrants, which means the three-day total has reached 2,000 — meeting the $10 million guarantee!

The 2,000th entrant was none other than 1996 WSOP Main Event champion Huck Seed.

When this tournament series — the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open — was announced a year ago with a $5,300 buy-in main event that held a $10 million guaranteed prizepool, most of the poker world didn’t believe it.

But they not only stood behind their guarantee, they reached it. And with more than seven hours left in the registration period, they will easily surpass it. So the prizepool is now $10 million and counting, with more than $1.5 million for first place.
