The mellow pace of the first four levels gave no indication of how fast things would move after the first break. There has been a regular stream of players heading downstairs with their stack going to someone else at the table.

2011 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” Champion Mike Beasley was one of the early eliminations but he will be a regular presence throughout the entire series. 120 players of the starting 188 are into Level 6 as the blinds are up to 200/400/50 ante.
