Oleg Merges wasted no time running up his starting stack. Only five minutes into the flight and he was all-in at risk. He wasn’t in too much danger with his dominating .

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

Nick Palma is the current returning chip leader

Four flights down, two to go in the $1,000,000 Guarantee Event 10. So far we’ve seen 1,465 entrants take a shot with 281 players still around at the end to move on to Day 2. Nick Palma put nearly 500,000 in his bag yesterday to hold the current chip lead.

The penultimate flight is ready to go and the dealers are waiting for the players to take their seats for what we expect to be a huge Saturday morning/afternoon crowd.

Entrants sit down to 20,000 starting stacks and play 30-minute levels throughout Day 1. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 around 3:30pm and play will conclude at the end of Level 14.

It’s going to be a busy day in the ballroom and the prize pool will surpass the $1,000,000 mark before we are through.

Players begin with 20,000 in chips and 30-minute levels

Event 10 Day 1C: New November Niner

August 5, 2016 @ 3:04PM by AlCantHang

$570 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 8: 300/600 with a 75 ante
Total Entries: 360

We’ve had our fair share of successful players hit the ballroom for some SHRPO action and Jerry Wong can be counted among them. He has a few tournament wins to his credit, including a tournament title during our 2012 Seminole Hard Rock Summer Splash series, but he has a bigger tournament on his mind now.

Wong is part of the final table in the big daddy tournament, a brand new member of the WSOP Main Event November Nine. He locked up his spot at the table a few weeks ago and now has to wait until the end of October to get back into action.

Wong is guaranteed at least a $1,000,000 payout and will ladder up from there. His second biggest score is nothing to complain about either, a third place finish in the 2013 PCA Main Event put $725,000 in his bankroll.

Event 10 Day 1C: Santos Out on Tough Table

August 5, 2016 @ 2:35PM by AlCantHang

$570 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 7: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Total Entries: 330

Table 50 was a tough table to draw today, some big names and top players filled in a lot of the seats.

AJ “Doc” Santos is a regular during our big SHRP events when he’s not busy grind big PLO games in our sister poker room in Tampa. He has no problem firing multiple bullets into an event and has to here.

Santos put all his chips in the middle with the board reading and his was actually ahead of his opponent’s . Santos needed to dodge a hurt but the river was no good.

While Santos was hitting the registration desk, the table still had three big spots to deal with. Noah Schwartz, Daniel Buzgon, and David Diaz were equally dispersed around the table to make it a rough road. Those three have combined for nearly $9 million in career earnings, two WSOP bracelets, and one WPT title.

Luckily for the rest, that table will be breaking soon.

Event 10 Day 1C: Massey Drops to Gomez

August 5, 2016 @ 2:10PM by AlCantHang

$570 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 6: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Total Entries: 310

Two-time WSOP Circuit winner Aaron Massey is making his first appearance this series but has a little work to do with his first bullet.

He dropped down to 7,000 after mixing it up with Al Gomez then calling a small bet with the board reading only to see Gomez flopped a set of ducks.

Massey has run up short stacks in the past and will need to do so if he wants to bag later tonight. A good result here for the former HPT Player of the Year will put Massey over $3 million in career earnings.
