Julio Comparelli has done the most work so far, returning to the table with 71,600 chips. Mark Smith, who made the final table of Event 4, appears to be second in chips behind Comparelli. Smith turned his starting stack into 53,000 chips through four levels.

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 10: 400/800 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 29 of 94

A player in middle position opened to 2,000, Richard Becker called on the button, Joel Harwood called in the small blind, and Darryll Fish defended his big blind to create four-way action.

The flop was AhKc2h. Harwood checked, Fish moved all in for 6,900, and only Becker called to put him at risk.

Fish: QhJhTc4s
Becker: AcQcJd6s

Becker’s lead held as the 5c turn and Kd river completed the board. He won the pot with aces up, eliminating Fish in the process.

Richard Becker – 40,000 (50 bb)
Darryll Fish – Eliminated

Jacquelyn Scott (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
Jacquelyn Scott (Fort Lauderdale, FL)

Only 46 players remain in the fourth flight of Event 5 and we expect that number to be chopped in half over the next 90 minutes before they bag up.

Jacquelyn Scott, the 2015 WSOP Ladies Champion, is making her first appearance during this series and trying to get through her first flight on one bullet. She’s short at the moment but there’s one last flight nearby if she needs it.

Event 7: The Pevner/Harwood Fued Continues

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 8: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Entries: 93

Barry Pevner
Barry Pevner

Barry Pevner won his first SHRPO trophy yesterday afternoon, defeating Loni Harwood heads-up to claim the title for Event 4. During his postgame interviews, Pevner relayed a story about losing a heads-up battle against Loni’s father, Joel, back in 1999. Yesterday’s revenge was sweet for Pevner, but the Harwood family has struck back today.

There was significant multi-way preflop action for this hand, apparently beginning with a Pevner raise under the gun. Several players called before Joel Harwood squeezed all in for a bit less than 30,000 from the big blind. Pevner called all in for 10,525, and the rest of the table folded out of the way.

Pevner: KsQs
Harwood: Ah7c

The board ran out 8h5d4d9dTs, and Harwood’s ace-high earned him the pot and the knockout. Pevner was eliminated, now down 2-1 in battles against the family Harwood.

Joel Harwood – 45,000 (90 bb)
Barry Pevner – Eliminated

Event 7: Last Chance to Register

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 8: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Entries: 93

2016 SHRPO Matt Yorra double

There are about 15 minutes left in Level 8, and the field has grown to 93 entries. There’s a break following this level, after which registration will close, so time is running out to enter this bounty field.

Things are moving along quickly, too. Another table has just been broken, reducing the crowd to 45 remaining players across five tables. More than half the starting field has already been eliminated.
