Championship Day 1: Hollywooding

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship (Freeze-Out)
Level 1: 75/150/25 Ante

Players try to confuse their opponents with fake tells, long tanks, and changing up their moves while waiting for the cameras to show up.

We have two players in early action that have a little more skill at acting than the rest of the field.

Mekhi Phifer is best known for his role in the television series ER or his spot in Eminem’s movie 8-Mile. He also plays poker when given the opportunity. Phifer flew into town yesterday and had some fun at the Charity Series of Poker event before getting down to serious business today.

Sasha Barrese is usually recognized for her role in the Hangover movie trilogy but that is changing. She’s taken a break from working in front of the camera to raise her twin sons and play some poker if she has down time.
