$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 2: 50/100
Flight 1A Entries: 145

Flight A continued to climb over the first levels and more players are coming out after putting a little breakfast in their bellies. The entrant count should continue to move higher at a brisk pace until registration closes in three hours.

There are few “soft” tables in a $1 Million Guarantee tournament but we found one that is particularly tough for first flight, first level.

Ory Hen is the reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year after picking up the honors for the 2015 season. He had an incredible run and earned some nice bonus prizes for the feat.

David Prociak is sitting to Hen’s right and he is the current leader in the 2016 POY race ahead of Florida pro Timothy “TK” Miles. Prociak earned his leaderboard points courtesy of a second place finish in the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship and another runner-up result in the Seminole Immokalee Poker Challenge Main Event.

Because Table 12 wasn’t tough enough with those two at one end, the rest of the players also have to deal with WSOP Circuit winner John Depersio and 2015 November Niner Neil Blumenfield.
