Event 4: Finding a Champ

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 1,500/3,000/500 Ante

Event 4 is the biggest buy-in so far in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open and the remaining players are back for the final day. The tournament drew 89 entrants to beat the $75,000 guarantee with 11 of them returning today.

Only nine of them will make the money so they have a little work to do for a payout. Aaron Mermelstein leads those 11 players at the start followed closely by John Dubois and Jeffrey Trudeau.

They’re unbagging their chips and Day 2 will be underway shortly.
