Event 1 Flight B: Lenny Duvdivan Leads as Play Concludes

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
End Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 99 of 443

Lenny "The Dove" Duvdivan
Lenny “The Dove” Duvdivan

Flight B of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open $1,000,000 guarantee began today at 11am with 443 entries. Following 14 levels of play, it’s Lenny “The Dove” Duvdivan who leads a field of less than 100 remaining. Duvdivan owns more than 300,000 chips and will sleep on the overall chip lead for at least tonight. Joining Duvdivan toward the top of the counts from Flight B is Juan Endara who’s also flirting with the 300,000 mark. The pair of headliners joins the 79 advancers from Flight A — as well as the advancers from Flight C-H — for Day 2 Sunday at 1pm.

Complete, combined chip counts through Flight B will be posted within the hour.

Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 108 of 443

The final level of the day is underway and the conclusion of play is less than 30 minutes away. Complete chip counts will be posted about an hour after action wraps. Here’s a look at some of the Flight B players still jockeying for position among Sunday’s Day 2 field:

Event 1 Flight B: Ido Ashkenazi Busts One

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 117 of 443

Ido Ashkenazi
Ido Ashkenazi

In a three-way pot, Ido Ashkenazi was in early position facing off against a late position player and another player on the button. The flop laid Ts9d5s and the button player moved all in out of turn for just over 50,000. After some clarification, action was on Ashkenazi and he moved all in for more. The late position player folded and the button was at risk.

Ashkenazi: Td7c for top pair
Button player: Ad3d for ace high

The board ran out 9sKd and Ashkenazi raked the pot. Ashkenazi, who won the Everglades Poker Open $350 good for a score of $30,000 and an RRPO Championship seat, now sits toward the middle of the counts with less than an hour to play in Flight B.

Ido Ashkenazi – 145,000

Event 1 Flight B: Field Thins to Start Level 12

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 144 of 443

2016-rrpo-00082

As the stacks thin so too does the field and only 144 of the original 443 starters remain in Flight B of the $1,000,000 guaranteed opener. Among those to hit the rail are Karl Manouchakian, Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Mukul Pahuja and Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah, Neil Blumenfield, Michael Newman and Steven Bennett.

Event 1 Flight B: Juan Endara Crosses 200K

Level 11: 600/1,200 with a 200 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 162 of 443

Juan Endara
Juan Endara

With a stack of over 200,000, the Flight B chip leader is currently Juan Endara. Endara, a resident of Miami, appears to sit on roughly 212,500 which would be good enough to put him within the top 10 of the Flight A advancers from a few hours ago. Endara has a tough table with the likes of 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen and a POY contender from last season Zoltan Czinkota. With over 175 big blinds and 1 hour and 45 minutes left to play, he’s in good position to bag a big stack heading to Day 2.

Juan Endara – 212,500

Event 1 Flight B: More Tampa Faithful

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 9: 400/800 with a 100 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 216 of 443

Karl Manouchakian
Karl Manouchakian

In addition to Seminole Hard Rock Tampa team member Wally Maddah, Tampa regular Karl Manouchakian also made the trek to join us here in Hollywood. In 2016 alone, Manouchakian has recorded 11 major tournament cashes at the Seminole Hard Rock properties including a victory in a $350 event during the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa series. Those scores have accounted for over $90,000 in earnings in addition to numerous other deep runs in daily events.

Event 1 Flight B: Registration Closed; Two-Flight Total at 846 Entries

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 9: 400/800 with a 100 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 234 of 443
