Seminole Hard Rock Poker

In addition to the 20 Main Events over 21 Days, the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown has an additional 42 events that keeps the Ballroom buzzing.

Tonight we catch four players holding court and looking forward to their next turn on the felt. Mike Mair, Trevor Samuels, Marlin Walker & Marvin Young say they’ll be “one’s to watch” over the next two weeks.

Earlier tonight four more Championship seats were earned through the $385 Mega Satellite, including one by Joseph Parrish:

Just won my seat to @shrpo main event. 1 step down 1 to go.

Here’s a look at some other players we caught over the last few days playing in the secondary and satellite events.  The headliner in this gallery is Dennis Rodriguez who had the chip lead in Flight B of Event 5.

Flight F – Level 6: Blinds 200/400/50 ante (317 Entries)

As the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown wraps up its first week, recognizable continue to enter the Ballroom.

Today is the series debut for Amanda Musumeci (Philadelphia, PA) and Chris Lindh (Goshen, NY) who are rising poker stars.

Musumeci has two career titles to go with nearly $1 million in live recorded tournament earnings*, while Lindh has more than $500,000 in career earnings.

Lindh made a splash last summer by making the final two tables of the 2013 WSOP Main Event with a 16th place finish for $358,000.

“Got to warm up for the $5 Million Guarantee,” says Lindh, who like many pros has his eye on the Championship Event (4/10-4/16).

Musumeci is also ready to bunker down here in Hollywood, FL for the next two weeks. She continues to chip up in Flight E and recently tweeted:

Heroed correctly again. 100k @1200.

— Amanda Musumeci (@TheReaLMander) April 2, 2014

 

As the Championship approaches, the list of pros will continue to grow and we’re glad to see Lindh and Musumeci get ahead start in the series.
