Level 5:  200/400 with a 400 ante
Day 1C Entries:  190 (Total: 870)

Players are beginning to hit the rail at a quicker rate which means we are clearing up the alternate list. There are still a good number awaiting their seat but the deep stacks mean they will have plenty of play when they get in.

We mentioned Neil Blumenfield in the field earlier but he’s not the only one here today with a WSOP pedigree. SHRP favorite Jacquelyn Scott took her seat this morning and she has a bracelet sitting at home when she broke through in a big way by capturing the WSOP Ladies Championship in 2015.

Day 1C Entries:  170 (Total: 850)

Players returned to their seats with 170 now having obtained seats with an eye towards a big bag. We will get everyone seated and they’ll have the benefit of a slow, deep structure.

Eric Rivera bought his ticket well in advance and already making use of his stack. The Georgian grinder is up to 65,000 and looking for his first lockdown tournament cash.

Level 3:  100/200 with a 200 ante
Day 1C Entries:  161 (Total: 841)

Three levels are down and tournament staff sent Day 1C players on the first break of the day. We have 162 entries seated with more alternates waiting and the prize pool is over $280,000.

They will return to play three more 40-minute levels before another break rolls around.

Level 3:  100/200 with a 200 ante
Day 1C Entries:  157 (Total: 837)

The great structure of the tournament means players have a lot of time to pick their spots. That also means we aren’t seeing bust-outs at the pace of other tournaments. Tournament staff are seating alternates 25 and below and we expect it to pick up a bit after the first break.

SHRP regular Neil Blumenfield was here early and had one of those first 144 seats to start. The 2015 WSOP November Niner is looking for his first Hollywood title after a lot of closes calls including more than a half dozen final tables.

The count is slowly ticking up as more players are seated; the day began with all seats sold and tournament staff are seating alternates as quickly as seats become available. We will be updating the alternate numbers on the @SHRHollyPoker Twitter account, follow along to know your number.

Marty Robbins didn’t need to wait. The Northeast grinder spends a lot of time in South Florida and he had an early seat in today’s action.

Tournament staff put cards in the air for the final flight of May Deep Stack Poker Series Event 1 with 144 already taking seats at the start. That leaves them only 72 away from a $300,000 prize pool and it should not take long to get there.

Level 1:  100/100

Event 1 of the 2021 May Deep Stack Poker Series made it through two starting flights with one, big Saturday session to go. The $400 buy-in tournament beat its $100,000 guarantee on Day 1A and doubled the prize pool to over $200,000 on Friday. Today the crowd will be bigger and the prize pool will top $300,000 before they are done.

A huge start to the series.
