$1,650 No Limit Hold’em Purple Chip Bounty
Level 17: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante
Remaining Players: 11 of 139
Average Stack: 142,000 (47 big blinds)

The biggest buy-in tournament played so far in the series is set to return this afternoon with 11 players remaining of the starting 139 entrants. November Niner Joshua Beckley leads the field when they return but there are plenty of top players trying to chase him down for the title.

The tournament quickly surpassed the $100,000 Guarantee and they’re playing for some big money up top plus the $500 bounty they receive for knocking someone out.

They are set to return to action at 2pm and we’ll be following along until we have our next Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown champion.
