Average Stack: 204,000 (25 big blinds)

We expected a rush to the payout desk and that’s exactly what is going on. More than 50 players took their spot in line for a ticket to the cage but others are running up their stacks.

Nancy Thomas had a good start to her day, picking up aces on the third hand of the day against Brad Grossman to send him out with tens. The hand push her stack up to 260,000 but the big mover so far is Michael Laake.

As the Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member told us, he “won a big flip”. Laake began the day with nearly 400,000 but now just shy of 900,000 in the first hour of action.
