Level 1: 25/50

The early session of Event 5 drew a nice crowd of 157 entrants to put it on pace to surpass the $250,000 guaranteed prize pool and 1B will add to it.

Level 12: 800/1,600/200 Ante

While most of the attention is aimed at the final table/commotion in the corner for Event 1, the $250,000 Guarantee Event 5 has played down in the first flight from 157 entrants to 54 players.

A nice crew of players are still around including Patrick Eskandar, Andre Crooks, and reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen. Table 12 includes our last three women standing today with Jacquelyn Scott, Marsha Wolak, and Dani Dayan.

Dayan has a little company with her today, her constant companion and good lucky charm Shemmy.

They’ll finish up this level, take a break, and return for two more levels to end the day. We’ll pick up the action as they finish it out and Event 1 comes to a close.
