Level 17: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 15 of 114

Josh Hillock returns with chip lead

Event 4 was the first four-digit buy-in tournament on the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown schedule and it attracted some top players to the $1,100 Six-Max game.

They were scheduled to wrap up Day 1 after Level 16 but they still had some business to take care of, namely getting down to 15 players and in the money. They played 22 minutes into the bonus level to burst the bubble and they return today with Josh Hillock leading the way followed closely by David Jackson.

Also joining those two are SHRP regulars Brett Bader, Stephen Diamantas, and Michael Goldfarb along with WSOP Circuit winner John DePersio and Staffan Lind.

Those 15 players return at 2pm to play down to a winner with deep stacks and a slow structure. We will crown our next big champion later this evening and will be here to bring all the action.
