The biggest buy-in tournament played so far in the series is set to return this afternoon with 11 players remaining of the starting 139 entrants. November Niner Joshua Beckley leads the field when they return but there are plenty of top players trying to chase him down for the title.
The tournament quickly surpassed the $100,000 Guarantee and they’re playing for some big money up top plus the $500 bounty they receive for knocking someone out.
They are set to return to action at 2pm and we’ll be following along until we have our next Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown champion.

The 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown is nearing the two-week mark and another Trophy was awarded on Sunday afternoon, while two other events moved very close to a final table.
Gilbert Silva won the $350 No Limit Hold’em after coming out on top of a six-way chop, taking home $15,000.
While Silva was winning the only trophy awarded, both the $1,650 No Limit Hold’em Purple Chip Bounty and the $570 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack Re-Entry both played down to 11 players. Both events have serious poker talent at the top of the leaderboard.
2015 WSOP Main Event runner-up Josh Beckley has a big chip lead in the purple chip bounty and three-time bracelet winner Rob Mizrachi bagged up the chip lead.
Both of those re-start at 2 p.m. on Monday and will play down to a winner. The $570 No Limit Hold’em Double Black Chip Bounty kicks off at noon and is scheduled to be a one-day event.
Here’s a detailed look at Monday’s Schedule:
