With the long, slow, deep structure of the SHRPO Championship, it’s not uncommon for a few folks to take their time getting down to the Grand Ballroom.

But we have a good number of top players here in the first level, trying to maximize their time getting those most possible chips. A few friends we found in early action include Darren Elias, Roni Zelichonok, Shaun Davis, Andrew Ostapchenko, Art Peacock, Darryll Fish, Jeremy Becker, and Spencer Champlin.
