Level 4: Blinds 100/200/25 ante
Ryan Van Sanford thought his first table was the “worst in the room”.
Now he’s re-entered and landed one table over with Chance Kornuth, Andy Frankenberger, Cornel Cimpan, Shaun Deeb, and Cord Garcia!
How’s that for a tough table?

Matt Waxman has arrived to defend his title. He won the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ’N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship Event last year, good for $123,598. Last year’s event was a $1,650 buy-in and drew 482 entrants.
There are over 200 entrants in this flight with plenty of room, and time, for more.

The previous level, and the random seat draw, were not kind to Ryan Van Sanford. The recent winner of the WPT Bestbet Jacksonville main event was felted. He earned over $421,000 in that win earlier this month, so he can afford to try again.
Busted in level 2 of 3500 and drew worst table in the room. Had thanksgiving dinner with the players on my direct left and right last night

End of Level 2: Blinds 75/150
End of level and players are on their first break of the day.
One of the biggest names in poker and one of those rarely spotted outside of Vegas is Carlos Mortensen — and he’s here today playing in this event.
He’s the only player on the planet that has won both the Main Event of the WSOP and the WPT World Championship event. He’s amassed more than $11 million in career earnings and doesn’t even travel that much to play.

Ian O’Hara and the player on his right got to the river with the board showing 
and Ian jammed for ~29k after his opponent fired 10k.
After some thought, seat 3 called all-in, showing 
for a set. Ian tabled 
for the nut straight and the win. Seat 3 hit the exit while Ian got busy stacking his newly acquired chips.

Blinds are up and so is the player count. There are already 165 entries in this flight with plenty of time to register and re-enter.
There was a 9am Turbo Qualifier that awarded three seats and one of those went to David Levi, who has over 20 titles and $3 million in career earnings. Not sure if he plans to fire this bullet today or wait until tomorrow.

Local grinder Julio Fernandez said “Get my picture…I may not be here very long!” He is the early chip leader at his table, so who knows?
According to Hendon Mob, Julio is no slouch on the felt. He’s got several titles won here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood and over $300,000 in career earnings!
