Day 1 has come to a close with 19 players remaining in Event 4 ($1,100 NLHE) at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. The clock was paused with 25 minutes and 49 seconds remaining and that is where the returning field will pick up the action when Day 2 begins on Monday at 3 p.m.

The tournament attracted a total of 114 entries and the total prize pool is $114,000. The top 18 players will take home at least $1,710 in prize money and the eventual winner will take home $34,200.
