$350 Deep Stack ($150,000 Guaranteed + $3,500 Seat Added)
Level 15: 1,500/3,000/500
Players Remaining: 85/485
The clock strikes 1pm in Hollywood, Florida and Day 2 of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s Everglades Poker Open $350 buy-in is off and running. The 485-player starting field is down to 85 with only the top 50 finishing in the money.
Out in front of the action is Michael Ortiz of nearby Hialeah. Ortiz sits on 453,000 chips and has an edge of more than 100,000 over second place Dejan Petkovic (352,000). Putting his advantage to work on this football Sunday, Ortiz is tardy to the restart as his bag sits unattended.
Other notables among the returning players include Ory Hen (175,500) and Mark Dube (164,000).
Each of those still in contention is jockeying for one of the top 50 spots. A min-cash earns $693 while the tournament’s champion is set to pocket $30,949 along with an added $3,500 seat in the $2,000,000 guaranteed Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open Championship.
