$300 H.O.R.S.E. (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 100/200 Limits

The first mixed game SHRPO event is underway in the ballroom and it will test skills across five variants. Event 6 is a $300 H.O.R.S.E. tournament that will attract a small but talented field.

They’ll switch up the game every eight hands from Limit Hold’em, Limit Omaha/8, Razz, Seven-card Stud, and Seven Card Stud/8. Players begin with 10,000 starting stacks and 30-minute levels with late registration open until the start of Level 8 at 3pm.

They are underway and we’ll have our next new SHRPO winner sometime this evening. Bruce McGregor is the defending champ when he picked up his second SHRP trophy last August.

Iannuci showed AcAs and was in the lead against Chakole’s KhQd. The board ran out Qh8h8cAh9h and Iannuci won the pot with aces full.

Chakole’s flush sends him home in 11th place and took home $7,710 for his deep run. There is a short break in the action, while players redraw for seats at the unofficial final table.

The flop was AdKh5h and Padneto took the lead with a pair of fives. The 3d came on the turn, giving Mullennix a flush draw, but the 3c came on the river and Padneto dragged the pot with a fives and threes.

Event 1: Ory Hen Eliminated by Rocco Vito

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Players Remaining: 13 of 2,570

Ory Hen got all in from middle position for about 1,300,000 against Rocco Vito in the hijack. Hen showed KxJx and needed to improve against Vito’s AsTh.

The board ran out 9s7s3h7c2h and Vito won the pot with ace-high. Hen finishes in 14th place and took home $5,204 for his efforts.

Rocco Vito – 4,700,000 (39 bb)

Event 1: Harjinder Chawla Knocks Out Two

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) 
Level 31: 60,000/120,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining: 14 of 2,570

Harjinder Chawla
Harjinder Chawla

Jaime Compos moved all in from under the gun for 630,000 and Mike Cohen moved all in from middle position for 1,120,000. Action folded around to Harjinder Chawla in the big blind, who gets an exact count from the dealer before calling.

Compos showed KdTh, Cohen showed JsJd, and Chawla tabled 7c7d.

The flop was AsTc7s and Chawla flopped a set of sevens to take the lead. The turn was the Kc and Compos improved to two pair, but would need to fill up to stay alive.

Cohen would need to see a jack on the river to stay alive as well, but the 5d comes on the river and Chawla takes everything in the middle and eliminates two players in one hand.

Since Cohen had more chips at the outset of the hand, he takes the better finishing position. Cohen finished in 15th place and took home $5,204, while Compos finished in 16th place for $3,971.

Chawla takes the pot and is one of the bigger stacks remaining.

Harjinder Chawla – 7,000,000 (58 bb)
Mike Cohen – Eliminated
Jaimie Compos – Eliminated
