Event 1 surpassed the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool in last night’s flight then pushed it over $600,000 before the first break today. Now with registration open for 30 more minutes, they hit the magic number to put more than $700,000 up for grabs. It’s a lock that we’ll beat last year’s Event 1 numbers when the 2,693 entry gets in the game.

We’re seeing more members of the SHRP champion’s club among the big crowd including Ryan Dunn and Sean Shah. Dunn is a professional grinder/traveler and earned his biggest cash here during the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open when he won the $2,650 NLH event for $140,000. Shah’s SHRP title came this past January during the 2017 Coco Poker Showdown and he came close to his first WSOP bracelet this summer after a runner-up in the $565 Pot Limit Omaha event.
