Level 1: 25/50
Flight E Entries: 248

We anticipated a big field to start the day and we have nearly 250 entries before the end of Level 1. That’s a great start and we can see the magic number no far in the distance.

SHRP regular Michael Newman is one of those early entrants and he started off on the right foot. He opened the action and it was five-ways to the flop. It checked around to him, he tossed out 500 to get the pot down to three players. It checked back to him again after the turn and his 1,400 bet got him heads up. Newman tossed out 2,000 after the river, picked up a call, and tabled for a turned set of threes. Not a bad way to start his day.

Newman has been around our events since their inception and he already had a mantle full of SHRP trophies before he had a breakthrough performance to step it up, He outlasted a tough final table in the 2017 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship that included Ari Engel, Darryll Fish, Matas Cimbolas, Sheddy Siddiqui, and Shaun Deeb to win it all for nearly $375,000.
