He’s more than three hours late, but start-of-day chip leader Michael Ortiz is in his seat and back in action to start Level 20. He was delayed with some minor health issues, but all is well after a quick doctor’s visit.

After beginning the day with over 500,000, he’s blinded down to 299,000 and holds 29 big blinds — better than average stack.

Michael Ortiz – 299,000

With the field narrowing fast, it appears to Michael Harley who tops the counts. Harley began the day with over 300,000 and has turned that impressive stack into better than 700,000 over the course of the first few levels. Joining him toward the top of the counts is Jorge Rivera with a stack of 560,000.

Following eight rounds of hand-for-hand play, a few doubles ups and a triple up, the bubble finally burst.

There was a raise in middle position and two callers. Action was on Dejan Petkovic — who began the day second in the counts — and he shoved for 146,000. Mark Dube folded the small blind sending it to Nicholas Nieto in the big blind. Nieto re-shoved for about 260,000 and the remaining players in the hand folded. Petkovic was at risk, but held the edge in the hand.

The flop wasn’t what Petkovic hoped for as it gave Nieto the nut flush draw. That flush came through when the turn fell the . The river was the .

“Does he have a flush?” Petkovic asked in disbelief.

Indeed, Nieto improved to an unlikely flush and Petkovic was left bust after beginning the day second in the counts. He hit the rail 51st sending the remaining 50 players into the money.

Nicholas Nieto – 467,000

Michael Ortiz, who began the day with 100,000+ more chips than second place Dejan Petkovic, still hasn’t taken his seat for Day 2 of the $350. When he does arrive, he’ll be seated directly next to Dejan Petkovic — the player who began the day second in the counts.

As of now, it doesn’t appear anyone has taken over Ortiz’s chip advantage.

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.

Chip Counts | Table Draws

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.
