There was a brief presentation before the tournament began, with information about the charity that tonight’s donations will go to — Make-A-Wish Southern Florida — and a tribute to the late Larry Frank, affectionately known as “Mr. Frank.”

Frank was instrumental in the success of tournament poker in south Florida, and Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has become one of the premier stops worldwide for tournament poker.

Because this is a charity event, the prizepool has been donated, and will be posted soon. The nine final tablists will receive cash and prizes, with the winner receiving $5,000 plus a $3,500 seat into the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, which begins tomorrow.

The cards went in the air shortly after 7:20 pm, and the field will be playing 15 minutes levels, with registration open with unlimited re-entries until the end of the first break around 9:35 pm. It’s only $300 to enter, and massage therapists from Rock’N Massage are here providing free massages to the players.

There were 33 players in the field when action began, and that number has grown to 45.
