$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock RRPO Championship 
Level 1: 50/100

The opening day of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship was a good start to the tournament and we will run the numbers higher today. Flight A drew 339 entries to put the Championship on an easy path to hitting the $2 Million Guarantee with registration open until this evening.

Of the 118 who survived Flight A, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Brian Hastings was in possession of the top stack at the end of the night as the only player to top 400,000 for the day. Matt Affleck is the leading Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member with Sheddy Siddiqui and Jessica Dawley also building a bag.

Other notables moving to Day 2 include Phil Laak, Zo Karim, Rep Porter, Kelly Minkin, and former WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela along with all three Seminole Hard Rock Tampa team members John Racener, Wally Maddah, and Justin Zaki.

It will be another big field for Flight B and today’s entry number 287 will put the Championship over the guaranteed prize pool.

Each entrant will sit down with a 30,000 starting stack and levels are 60-minutes long. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 7 after the dinner break and we will lock the count at 8pm. They will play ten full levels and survivors will bag up their chips for a Day 2 return tomorrow at noon.

Cards will go in the air at the top of the hour and we expect another exciting day in the ballroom.
