One of the tournament’s most recent entries is Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Sheddy Siddiqui. Siddiqui holds a fresh 50,000 and hopes to join the likes of fellow team members Mukul Pahuja and Loni Harwood — who bagged Flight A — on Sunday’s Day 2.

Cards are back in the air with blinds 150/300 and a 50 ante. The clock reads 61 entries to this point with late registration and unlimited re-entry available all the way until cards go in the air on Sunday.
