Level 1: 25/50

Saturday evening is here and it’s time for the final flight of the huge WSOP Circuit opening event. The $580 buy-in tournament easily cleared the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool early this afternoon and they will continue to pile money on top through the night.

As with the first five flights, players will sit down to 12,000 starting stacks and play 30-minute levels. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 10:30 pm with unlimited re-entries options during that time. Due to a quick run in Flight A, play will come to an end this evening with 25:27 remaining in Level 15. Those with chips will put them in a bag for a Day 2 return tomorrow at 1 pm.

The tournament is already a success and tonight’s players will help make it bigger when action kicks off at 6 pm.

Level 12: 600/1,200 with a 200 ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 108 of 398

Play is moving along here on Saturday evening as the 398-entry starting field is down to 108 players. If past trends hold true, the event should narrow to about 13 percent — or roughly 50 players — remaining by the time action wraps. Remember, Flight A hit the 12-percent hard stop with 25:27 remaining in Level 15 so all subsequent flights have been matching that duration.

Full chip counts through Flight E will be posted after play concludes.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Jessica Dawley recently enjoyed a triple up picking up queens versus Mike Beasley’s pocket fives and another players’ . A few hands later, thought, she met her fate.

In a three-bet, heads-up pot with Brad Schiller, the flop fell . Schiller plopped a few beige 5,000 chips in the pot and Dawley rechecked her holdings. She moved all-in and Schiller called.

Dawley: for an overpair
Schiller: for a pair of nines and a gutshot

Runout:

Schiller hit the unlikely gutter on the turn and Dawley was left busted. She hit the rail while Schiller scooped a pot sending his stack well over 200,000.

Brad Schiller – 220,000
Jessica Dawley – Eliminated

Orlando’s David Prociak snagged Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year honors during the 2015/2016 season and his strong play earned him entries in all SHRP Main Events/Championships during the following season. Prociak is back for more during the 2017/2018 season hoping to again capture the run good that sprung him into the SHRP spotlight for good. While today’s Flight E isn’t points eligible in the race, he’s sure to be among the droves of players in the action for next weekend’s $1,675 Main Event.

Scott Stewart had a massive summer finishing 13th in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event for better than $500,000. From there, he kept a hot streak going kick starting his Circuit season with a $63,399 score and his fifth gold ring victory in North Carolina.

Stewart has no shortage of success, but his Seminole resume is a bit light. His lone cash here in Hollywood came in April of 2015 when he finished 71st in a multi-flight re-entry. Trending up at the right time, Stewart hopes to leave the Seminole Hard Rock as a six-time Circuit gold ring winner when play wraps October 2. A win here in the opener would reward him handsomely.
