Level 7: 250/500 with a 75 Ante
Flight B Entrants: 422

After busting Flight A, Neil Blumenfield and Ory Hen did their part to up the entry count by getting back in the action in tonight’s Flight B. Blumenfield and Hen share a table and it’s Blumenfield’s 34,000-chip stack that has Hen’s 26,500 edged out.

Blumenfield is best known for his 3rd-place finish in the 2015 WSOP Main Event while Hen earned Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year honors that same year.

A total of 80 players advanced from Flight A and tonight’s flight should see around that number earn their way to a Day 2 as well.

Level 4: 100/200 with a 25 Ante
Flight B Entrants: 340

The entry count ticked over 300 in Level 3 and now sits at an even 340 early in Level 4. While there’s no shortage of locals, the swelling field is filled with travelers as well. One of the more notable out-of-towners in action is Seminole Hard Rock Tampa team member Wally Maddah.

Maddah made the nearly the four-hour drive south and east on I-75 and finds himself in the mix of a field that’s approaching 800 combined entries early in the action. Maddah owns two wins on his home turf, but has yet to break through here on the Atlantic side.

Level 3: 75/150 with a 25 Ante
Flight B Entrants: 299

Three-time Seminole Hard Rock Poker champion Francis Margaglione eyes another title in this super-sized field. Margaglione owns more than $126,000 in career earnings with each of his 32 cashes having come in the state of Florida. His largest career score came in the form of championship performance in last year’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open $150 event while his most recent victory was during August’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.

Still shy of the first break in Flight B, Margaglione has a long way to go in what’s shaping up to be a monster field in the RRPO $360.

End of Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 Ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 80 of 403

Play has come to an end in the opening flight of the opening tournament on the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” schedule.

After 14 levels of play, the two biggest stacks in the room were sitting across from each other. Nicholas Cookendorfer and David Rauf took turns at the top of the counts, each topping 300K at one point, with Cookendorfer pulling ahead late.

Rauf bagged up a nice 271,500 stack while Cookendorfer is the early leader coming back on Day 2 with 291,000. But there are seven flights trying to chase him down.

Full chip counts will be released as soon as they are available.

The 200-entry threshold didn’t take long to best in this evening’s 6pm flight. With Level 2 freshly underway, the clock shows 235 strong with many South Florida regulars among the field early.

Here’s a look at some of the familiar faces in the ballroom:

With ten minutes remaining in Level 14, tournament staff paused the clock and announced they would play three more hands before bagging up.

Less than 90 players remain at ten tables and we’ll drop near 80 when the official numbers are set.
