We’re back from break here in Day 1D and the defending Event 1 champion from last year’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open is in the house – and he’s got company.

Dan “Miami Boss” Suied is here but he won’t have an easy time getting back to the top as he is facing off with Carlos Loving and David Diaz early on.  We’ll see if the Boss can overcome a tough table draw and move on to Sunday to defend his title.

You can’t blame Joel Harwood if he isn’t paying as much attention to the action on the table as usual.  While he tries to make this Event 2 final table, he’s keeping an eye on his daughter from afar.

Loni Harwood is now heads-up for the WSOP National Championship looking for her second WSOP bracelet.  We should know pretty shortly if Loni pulls it off because Joel has promised a big scream for his pride and joy.

15 players remain in Event 2 with twelve making the money.
