The entrant count continues to move up towards 300 for the first flight and we should easily get there plus some.

Brian Phillis is back in the room where he earned his biggest poker payout. Well, he started in the ballroom and finished in front of the Hard Rock Live cameras. He was part of the $5 Million GTD SHRPO Championship and outlasted all but one player.

Phillis finished second last year to Omar Zazay after a long heads up battle. He took home $575,000 for his second place finish and would be very happy to improve his result this year for a cool $1 million.
