Cards are back in the air and registration is closed on the first of eight flights for Event 1. The tournament clock shows 341 entries but we will wait for the official accounting to be complete to lock it in.
Among the players returning, it looks like James Hayes is leading them all. He sits with 124,000 after starting with 20,000 but he’s not running away from the rest. On his heels we have David Oshry (120,800) and Marc Sacheli (120,000) only a few 1K chips behind.

Level 7: 300/600 with a 600 ante
Flight A Entries: 315
The entry count moved over 300 entries after the break and one of them belongs to a former champion. When this tournament set the record for the biggest field in Florida poker history, Rafael Reis was the last player standing out of 5,018 entries to collect more than $150,000.
Since that time, Reis continued to roll with dozens and dozens of cashes and a handful of final tables. That payday was the biggest of his career but he topped earlier this year with a $200K Borgata win. All of that leaves Reis on the verge of topping $1,000,000 earned in his poker career.

Fabio Fernandez has his seat in the game and came a long way to get here. He’s in town all the way from Colombia with friends for vacation and also some big money poker. Fernandez trekked more than 1,600 miles and hoping to bag today and take the rest of the week off to enjoy everything South Florida has to offer.

Level 2: 150/300 Limits
Entries: 57
The Omaha/8 field had a nice number at the start and it continues to grow as they approach last year’s count after less than half an hour. This tournament drew 74 entries to the smaller buy-in tournament and we should push up a nice prize pool.
Chris Moneymaker grabbed an early seat and your 2003 WSOP Main Event Champ, the impetus of the poker boom, has been on a nice run the last few days. We hosted the final tournament on the $86 Moneymaker PSPC Tour, which award seats in the big PokerStars event coming up in January, and he made it through the 957-entry field to finish in second place.
Last night, he was part of the Feeding South Florida charity event and went on to win the entire thing. As a PokerStars ambassador, he was ineligible to win the $30,000 Platinum Pass and it went to second place finisher Esteban Garcia.
Moneymaker is part of a small but talented field that also includes Joel Harwood, David Shmuel, and Martin Ryan (who captured the WSOP Circuit casino championship a few weeks ago at our sister room in Coconut Creek).
