Play has come to an end in the opening flight of the opening tournament on the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” schedule.

After 14 levels of play, the two biggest stacks in the room were sitting across from each other. Nicholas Cookendorfer and David Rauf took turns at the top of the counts, each topping 300K at one point, with Cookendorfer pulling ahead late.

Rauf bagged up a nice 271,500 stack while Cookendorfer is the early leader coming back on Day 2 with 291,000. But there are seven flights trying to chase him down.

Full chip counts will be released as soon as they are available.
