Registration closed when cards went in the air for Level 9 and the official number is 370 entrants for the opening flight. That’s a great start and puts Event 1 well on course to blast the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Stewart Newman was one of the late entrants in Flight A but made the most of it as soon as he took his seat. He put up his buy-in shortly before the second break and doubled his 20K starting stack on the very first hand.
