The final 35 players return from the last break of the day to begin Level 29, with increased blinds of 35,000-70,000 and a 10,000 ante.

The average chip stack is a little more than 1.9 million, which is worth about 27 big blinds.

Here’s a look at some of the updated chip counts:

David Diaz  –  5,230,000  (74 bb)
Daniel Navarrete  –  4,030,000  (57 bb)
Derek Buonano  –  4,000,000  (57 bb)
Mike Chiappetta  –  3,850,000  (55 bb)
Steven McKoy  –  3,700,000  (52 bb)
Kevin Ho  –  3,600,000  (51 bb)
Chad Eveslage  –  3,425,000  (48 bb)
Oscar Ortiz  –  2,350,000  (33 bb)
Brian Phillis  –  1,500,000  (21 bb)
Marlon Ballentine  –  1,200,000  (17 bb)
John Liu  –  1,200,000  (17 bb)
Mike Beasley  –  1,100,000  (15 bb)
Michael Tait  –  1,000,000  (14 bb)

Daniel Navarrete moved into second on the leaderboard after eliminating Pedro Rios. They had gotten it all in preflop with Navarrete’s pocket aces dominating the pocket nines of Rios. The board brought quad fours (Q-4-4-4-4), and Navarette won the pot with one of his aces as the kicker.

Action will continue tonight until the field reaches the final table (very unlikely) or the end of Level 31 (about 2:35 am EDT).

All three of the preliminary events are closing in on the money as we pass the witching hour at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. Event 2 ($1,100 no-limit hold’em) has 18 players remaining and nine will make the money, Event 4 ($240 Seven-Card Stud) has 14 players remaining and five will get paid, although they have chosen to halt play until 3 p.m. on Monday; and Event 5 ($240 bounty no-limit hold’em) is right on the money bubble with 28 players remaining.

Busto. That’s all there is to say.

1.  Michael Ortiz  –  2,550,000  (63 bb)
2.  Jaime Campos  –  2,370,000  (59 bb)
3.  Jeff Yeh  –  2,300,000  (57 bb)

9.  Angelo Miele  –  1,485,000  (37 bb)
10.  David Diaz  –  1,450,000  (36 bb)

Jeff Yeh catapulted up the leaderboard after winning a pot worth 2.3 million against Mike Beasley in a preflop aces-vs.-queens situation. (Beasley’s queens never improved.) Beasley is still in the tournament, but short-stacked with about 440,000 (11 big blinds).

Event 5 ($240 bounty no-limit hold’em – $20,000 guaranteed) attracted a total of 252 players and that created a prize pool worth $25,200. There are currently 72 players remaining and the money bubble will burst when 27 remain.

1: $7,053
2: $4,158
3: $2,772
4: $1,928
5: $1,436
6: $1,109
7: $857
8: $630
9: $454
10-12: $353

16-18: $265
19-27: $227

It appears that a turbo tournament wasn’t fast enough for the final eight players in Event 3 ($240 turbo no-limit hold’em) at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. The final eight players have decided to chop up the remaining prize pool. We will have full results for you when they are released by the tournament staff.

As the next break approaches, there are 83 players remaining in Event 1 ($350 No-Limit Hold’em), with an average chip count around 817,000 (27 big blinds). These players are all guaranteed at least $2,136.

Here’s a look at the chipleaders, along with some of the notables further back, with the blinds at 15,000-30,000 and a 3,000 ante.

Angelo Miele  –  800,000  (26 bb)
Michael Tait  –  348,000  (11 bb)
Marsha Wolak  –  330,000  (11 bb)

Jamie Campos took the chip lead after busting a player in a post-flop aces-vs.-queens situation. The flop came , and the player with pocket queens was all in for about 400,000, but Campos dominated him with pocket aces.

The turn was the a blank, and the river was a K, which caused a brief moment of tension as everyone was watching for a queen. Campos won the pot worth about a million in chips to bust his opponent and move into the chip lead with 2.55 million.
