$1,100 Turbo No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 4: 100/200 with a 25 ante | Structure
Entries: 29

The $1,100 Turbo was expected to be a quick affair and they are having a great time in the back of the ballroom. They wasted no time getting their chips in the middle and we had two busts in the first level.

Things are settling down as the first hour is about to come to a close. One table is especially tough with SHRP team member Matt Stout, WSOP bracelet winner, and Alexandre Caperonis  fresh off his sixth place finish in the Purple Chip Bounty event.

Level 10: 500/1,000 with a 100 ante
Entries: 56

Since besting the guarantee nearly two hours ago, the field in the one-day $5,000 buy-in event has grown at a modest pace. The Championship’s early finished changed that, though, as the 18 players that bagged were suddenly left with an early night. The $5,000 event, which is slated to finish up sometime after midnight, got an influx of entries including Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Darryll Fish and Shaun Deeb who are among the Championship’s final 18.

Fish and Deeb both got in the action and helped grow the entry count to 56. They’ve had a decent start, too, as it appears both have doubled up early.
