$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Championship
Level 15:  1,500/3,000/500 Ante

The players return from break to begin Level 15, with increased blinds of 1,500-3,000 and a 500 ante. With about 140 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 164,000 (55 big blinds).

The final 72 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $7,108. We expect the Money Bubble to burst before the end of the day.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 16 (about 6:30 pm), and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (about 12:15 am).
