Before the start of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship, Phil Laak said he was hoping to be “destroying souls,” in the $5 Million Guaranteed event.

Laak is off to a good start on Day 1C with nearly 100k and is looking to join girlfriend Jennifer Tilly on Day 2. She bagged 180k on Day 1B, which is more than double the current 83k average.

Phil Laak (Las Angeles, CA) 96k
Joe Marchese (Coral Springs, FL) 85k
