Event No. 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em) is a re-entry tournament with five starting flights and that pumped the total field size to a massive 3,391 players. There are 697 that advanced to Day 2 and they have a long day of poker ahead of them. Play will end at 3 a.m. tonight or when the final table is reached, which is unlikely given the amount of players we have coming back.

The chip leader is Guillermo Reyes with 437,500 and he is joined at the top by Mark Spies(427,000), Chris Spencer (376,600), Miguel Caputo (370,800), and Ira Schwartz (353,300). Stay tuned for updates throughout the day from the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.

Kiletto Can’t Call

by

Level 7
Blinds: 250/500
Ante: 50

Lily Kiletto opened to 1,500 in early position. Three players called to see a KdQd9h flop where Kiletto continued for 3,400. The player in middle position folded, the player in the cutoff raised to 10,000, and the big blind check-folded. Kiletto called after a few moments, landing the Qs on the turn. A check from Kiletto led to her opponent shoving for 18,150. Kiletto went deep into the tank, eventually having the clock called after about three minutes. In the end, she opted to let the time run out and her hand was dead.

Lily Kiletto – 35,000 (70 bb)
