Championship Day 2: In the Money Without Hand-for-Hand Play

$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Championship
Level 18:  3,000/6,000/1,000 Ante

With 74 players remaining, a player got it all in preflop with A-6 against the 8d8c of Peter Walsworth. An eight on the flop all but sealed it for Walsworth, who won the pot to eliminate his opponent in 74th place.

Peter Walsworth  –  400,000  (67 bb)

The tournament staff announced for all tables to finish the current hand and then stop to begin hand-for-hand play.

But one of those hands in progress resulted in an all-in-and-a-call situation. And the shorter stack lost. Which meant there were 72 players remaining.

When all hands concluded, the tournament staff announced that everyone was in the money, guaranteed at least $7,108.

The next pay jump is $8,089 for 63rd place, and action is scheduled to continue until the end of Level 20, around 12:15 am.
