Event 1 Flight C: Heading into the Weekend

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry No Limit Hold’em
Level 1: 25/50

Casey Carroll, current Event 1 leader

Day 2 of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open is upon us and it is also the second day of the Ultimate Re-Entry opening event.

The first two flights drew 917 entries yesterday to put the $360 buy-in tournament more than halfway towards the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. We should easily get enough players for Friday morning/afternoon/evening poker to get there today.

Casey Carroll is the overall leader after two flights with former WPT champ Tony Ruberto not far behind and 89 players holding a seat for Day 2.

The unique format of the Ultimate Re-Entry gives players a chance to enter multiple starting flights and get paid for advancing more than one stack forward to Day 2. The smaller stack(s) will be taken out of play, they will receive $2,500 for that stack, and the bigger one will be put in play.

Bob Chow is off to a good start in the tournament and advanced a stack in each of the first two flights to put him up $2,500 before playing a single hand on Day 2.

Each entrant will sit down to a 15,000 starting stack and play 30-minute levels throughout the starting flight. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 13 at 5:45pm. They will continue playing until 10% of the field remains (rounding down) and those remaining will return to Day 2 already in the money.

Play gets back underway at the top of the hours and we will continue to follow along until the burst the Flight C bubble later this evening.
