ICYMI: Two More Trophies and Bonus Event 1 Poker

Sunday was a busy day in the Hard Rock Event Center, so much so that the series expanded to an outer room. The Event 1 restart utilized all 76 tables in the Event Center but that did not last long.

We saw 676 players return for Day 2 and they played down to the money well before the first break of the day with 450 taking home some money. The brisk pace continued but we still had 16 players remaining when they hit the 3am hard stop.

They return on Monday afternoon to play down to the Event 1 champion with nearly $220,000 sitting up top. Devond Marshall will lead the two-table field when they return with Kharlin Sued not far behind.

While Event 1 was playing down, we had two one-day trophy events running alongside.

The $360 Black Chip Bounty had a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool and the 219 entries more than doubled that amount between the regular and bounty prize pools. They played in the Salon East most of the day but redraw the final three tables back into the Event Center.

Tyler Dietz wins $360 Black Chip Bounty

Tyler Dietz dominated the final table for the win after falling short in Event 1. He made a trip to South Florida from Niagara Falls, NY for the $1,000,000 Guarantee opening event but will instead take home the Event 6 trophy along with more than $10,000.

Event 7 had the biggest buy-in of the series so far and it drew some big players as we approach the Championship later in the week. The $1,100 buy-in tournament had a $100,000 Guarantee and it also easily surpassed its mark with 170 entries.

Raminder Singh wins $1,100 no-limit hold’em

Raminder Singh has countless SHRP trophies and wins to his credit and he won another one in the wee hours on Monday morning. Singh made a heads-up deal with Travis Jackson and earned the win courtesy of his chip lead, taking home $37,706 along with yet another SHRP trophy.
