Two hours are gone in the first flight of the $1,000,000 Event 1 and the field is closing in on 200 entrants. TJ Shulman is quickly on his second bullet after running into quads not long after taking his first seat.

Level 4: 100/200

The big man in the room right now is Noah Schwartz. The local pro took his seat shortly after the noon hour and is looking to continue a very good week.

Schwartz went over $5,000,000 in career earnings earlier this week when he won the $100,000 buy-in WPT Alpha8 Florida event here last weekend. The $585,000 first place prize was the biggest of a career which also includes a WSOP and WPT title.

A few more locals put their money down to play some poker today and we have a family affair in both tournaments running. Angela Prada-Moed and Michael Moed each have seats with Angela playing in Event 1 while her husband plays a little Omaha/8 in Event 2.

Angela has plenty of results to her credit including five cashes and two final tables during last summer’s WSOP. Michael’s résumé shows six Omaha/8 titles including one in each of the last two Lucky Heart series.

When the two aren’t beating down opponents at the table, the two own Sweet Times Cupcakes in Miami. A popular destination for those looking to get their baked goods fix.

Level 1: 50/100 Limits

While most of the room is mixing it up in the big $1,000,000 Guarantee Event 1, a smaller group of players are now taking their shot with some four-card action.

The first non-Hold’em tournament of the series features Limit Omaha/8 for a fun day of split pots. It will be a smaller field but most will be experienced in this special variant.

They start off with 15,000 stacks, 40-minute levels, and a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool. Late registration or re-entry is available until the start of Level 7 giving them plenty of room to work or get back in.

Robert Campbell (Miami, FL) will be one to watch as it gets underway. He has ten career tournaments wins with all of them coming in Omaha/8 tournaments including the $250 Pot Limit Omaha/8 during the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.

Level 2: 50/100

Players moved into the second level while some are waiting until local time is no longer in the AM. The early flight players are in no particular hurry to gamble it up on with plenty of chips in action.

It’s also a bit of a reunion as a host of regulars are back in the ballroom for another big series. Some of those in the early action include Ory Hen, Eric Piderit, and Daren Stabinski.

Stabinski is freerolling this event after his high finish on the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” leaderboard. He has three results during that series with a 1st and 2nd place showing a week apart.
