Level 5:  200/400 with a 400 ante
Day 1A Entries:  148

The first flight of the series is cruising up towards 150 with plenty of time to push the count higher. Registration is open until the start of Day 2 on Sunday at 11 am so we’re going to blast the $100,000 guarantee.

We found a few folks in the field who already own some Hollywood hardware. The previously mentioned Jeff Silverstein won a DSPS trophy last year and Carlos Bermudez is the defending champ in this event.

Min Zhang is looking for his first DSPS title but she has three major Hollywood titles and she finished runner-up in the $25K High Roller a few weeks ago.
