Level 19: 4,000/8,000/1,000 Ante

The field is now down to 203 players. As soon as two more players are eliminated, hand-for-hand play will begin on the Money Bubble.

Level 19: 4,000/8,000/1,000 Ante

While most of the players — particularly the short stacks — are focused on the upcoming Money Bubble, the blinds continue to increase, right on schedule. Level 19 just began, with increased blinds of 4,000-8,000 and a 1,000 ante.

With 207 players remaining (top 200 get paid), the average chip stack is about 240,000 (30 big blinds).

Unfortunately, we also lost the reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year, Angel Vu, who tweeted the following:

AKvs A6 and 6 hit the flop to send me home. Happy I played my best! Good luck to all my friends who are still in the race @shrpo

Level 18: 3,000/6,000/1,000 Ante

The field is down to just 211 players so the money bubble is very close. Once they lose 10 more, hand-for-hand action will begin until they are in the money.

Players are back in their seats with officially 252 remaining. Michael Dunn continues to lead but he has company now. Not only company in the counts but also at his table as second biggest stack Ben Lindemulder and his 715,000 have joined him at Table 29.

That is a lot of chips for one table.

Ralph Proctor, Daniel Dizenzo, and Aseem Farishta round out the top stacks as they approach the money bubble.

Michael Dunn – 810,000 (135 bb)
Ben Lindemulder – 715,000 (119 bb)
Ralph Proctor – 680,000 (113 bb)
Kevin Manning – 640,000 (107 bb)
Daniel Dizenzo – 550,000 (92 bb)
Aseem Farishta – 520,000 (87 bb)

Level 17: 2,500/5,000/500 Ante

Players are off on their first break of the day with right around 250 players remaining. Only 200 of them will be happy by the time the next break rolls around. The money bubble should show up sometime in the next level and change.

$1,650 Purple Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-out)
Level 1: 25/50

Another day and another big buy-in, big prize pool tournament on the schedule. Players are getting ready to the start the $1,650 buy-in Purple Chip Bounty tournament which features a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Players begin with 12,000 stacks and play 40-minutes at the start. They switch to hour-long levels at Level 7 and will play 12 total levels before bagging to return for Day 2. This is a freeze-out event so no re-entries are available but late registration is open Level 9 after the dinner break, approximately 10:10pm. $1,000 of each buy-in goes to the regular prize pool while a $500 bounty is placed on each player.

It will be a talented field today and they are about to get underway.

Two of the more successful players in the returning field are now past participants in Event 5. Darryll Fish was the first to walk out the door and Tristan “Cre8ive” Wade wasn’t far behind.

Wade was all-in for 63,000 and called by Erik Christensen in next position. Wade was ahead with against before Christensen added a straight draw to his live cards on the flop. The on the turn straightened him out and Wade was drawing dead the rail.

Fish and Wade have just under $2,000,000 in career tournament earnings, not counting their massive online tournament results during the glory days. Both own WSOP Circuit rings and Wade won a WSOP bracelet in 2011.

Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

The rich get richer and some times so do the poor.

Michael Dunn began the day with a huge chip lead and has done nothing but improve his position. He was in a big three-way pot with the 9-seat already all-in. Dunn bet 60,000 into the dry side pot with the board reading and his opponent in the 7-seat eventually called with .

His pair was no good when Dunn tabled for the rivered straight. Dunn now sits over 800,000 in early action.

The other side of the coin was Bret Beebe who began the day with just 14,500 (under 5 big blinds) but has since run it up over 140,000.

“I’m trying to give you a great story,” Beebe said with a smile. He managed the feat with three big hands, all of which held up.

As expected, the early action has been quick as short stacks take an early shot to get back in the game. No brutal beats were seen but the field is quickly dropping below 400 players by the end of the first level.

Amanda Musumeci and Mr Nigel Murray were part of the early exit crowd with Murray telling all who would here, “blind versus blind and he gets Aces.”
