Among the players who have recently taken their seats are Erik Seidel, Will Failla, Matt Glantz, Darren Elias, Micah Raskin, Isaac Hagerling, Tommy Vedes, Matt Waxman, and Tony Gregg.

The players return from their second break to begin Level 7, with increased blinds of 200-400 and a 50 ante.

The tournament clock shows 599 entrants in the Day 1A field, and registration remains open until the end of the dinner break (about 8:00 pm). Players who bust may re-enter as many times as they’d like until registration closes on each of the three starting days.

Have 1/6th of starting stack on my first bullet here in FL. Got 1 outed w 1 to come for most of it. Glad it’s a re-entry event;)

Table 19 has emerged as one of the toughest tables in the room on Day 1A at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open main event. Huck Seed, Noah Schwartz, Eric Baldwin, Faraz Jaka, and Billy Pilossoph are seated together at the table.

Welp that does it for my first bullet, turned top pair into a bluff and ran into a hand I never expected to see. Back at it tomorrow #10mill

Level 5 comes to an end, and Level 6 begins with increased blinds of 150-300 and a 50 ante. The tournament clock shows 579 entrants in the Day 1A field, though that number will certainly increase since registration remains open until the end of the dinner break (about 8:00 pm).
