The field is shrinking and stacks are growing. SHRP regular Peter Walsworth looks like he has one of the biggest stacks in the room with 180,000. He is looking for his fourth major Hollywood trophy and coming off a third-place finish in the Tampa Winter Poker Open Main Event.

Three-time WSOP Circuit winner Ryan Van Sanford is nearby and he’s over 100,000 as well. Two tough players with chips.

The H.O.R.S.E. field was sent on the first break of the day and we have another great turnout. Following in the footsteps of yesterday’s Limit Omaha 8 tournament, Event 3 has already surpassed the count from last year even with the Freeze-Out format.

Yuval Bronshtein is back after winning the Event 2 trophy and trying to go two-for-two in two days. Nick Pupillo has plenty of success in his career, including three WSOP Circuit rings and two HPT titles, but still looking for his first non-NLH win. Pupillo bagged a top 20 stack yesterday for Event 1 so he’s taking a shot for a H.O.R.S.E. trophy today.

Flight C Entries: 514 (Total: 1,359)

Soon after the first staggered break, Flight C hit the magic mark of 400 unique players which meant the field is now limited to those using their single re-entry option. The field moved over 500 entries during that time to push the prize pool over $700K with an easy path to $1,000,000.

James Calderaro is one of those getting here in time to join Flight C. The WSOP PLO High Roller bracelet winner always keeps things light at his table and they are having  a good time on a Friday afternoon.
