Level 13: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante
Everyone in the room is trying to chase down as many chips as they can to bag for Day 2. Right now it looks like they’re all chasing Kevin Deng.
Deng has two full stacks of the 5k chips in front of him and current sits at 250,000. We’ll see if Deng can hang on finish as the flight’s chip leader in about 40 mintues.

The last flight of the huge-field Event 10 is underway with the $1,000,000 guarantee already met. Every player entered now is just pushing the prize pool higher with 2,305 already involved.
It will be tough to be the afternoon flight which drew 736 entrants but we can expect high 600’s, low 700’s before registration is officially closed on this tournament.
Flight 1F players begin with 20,000 stacks and grind 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until approximately 10:30pm and then we’ll know exactly how much money is on the line.
The tournament will stop at the end of Level 14 and those with chips will return tomorrow at 1pm for Day 2.

We’re closing in on the final break of Day 1E and more players are finding themselves in contention to win today’s flight.

Dani Dayan has more on her hands than just her tablemates today. Along for the ride in her lap is her dog, Shemmy. And apparently they’re making a good duo as Dayan is now at 150,000 chips.
There is no word if there will be any Milk Bones put in play on the next break for Shemmy but we’ll see if we can get a ruling from the floor.
Players have been asking and now they’re back for another run.
Starting at 5pm today, single table satellites will be available for the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $5 Million Guarantee Championship and the $1 Million Guarantee Event 22.
There are three buy-in levels and will run as soon as 10 players are registered.
Just stop by the tournament desk to sign-up (not the registration desk in the lobby) and they will run as often as they fill up. Structure sheets also available at the tournament desk.
Also, the first five tables will each receive one of the new Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open hats.

Level 9: 400/800/100 Ante
With such a juge field, it’s no surprise we have more than a few former Seminole Hard Rock Poker champions. Two more were located before the break.
Daren Stabinski is back in the building looking to add to his four titles on properly including the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll” Poker Open event just a week after losing to Angel Vu heads up in the $1,100 6-Max tournament.
Joe Gale was a more recent winner, he was crowned champ in the big-field $150 buyin/$150,000 Guarantee Event 5 at the beginning of the week. Gale navigated the 2,022 player field to take home more than $35,000.
