Level 7: 250/500/50 ante
Registration has come to a close for Day 1C and 376 players registered for their shot. The number brings the total so far for Event 1 to 1,172 and those remaining are trying to join the 116 to make it through the first two flights.
Angel Vu is one those still in the tournament but only barely. She was sitting with a short stack as Level 6 was coming to an end and opted to shove instead of surrendering her stack. Vu was unable to double back to a starting stack and quickly hit the registration desk to become one of the last to buy-in to 1C.
There are still three more chances to earn a part of the $500,000 guaranteed prizepool with the next one coming at 7pm for 1D.

Level 6: 200/400/50 ante
One of the great benefit of playing in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open is the constant availability of table-side massage therapy while in action. Many players take advantage of the option to relax during the long grind.
Table 38 might change their tune for a few levels. Two players were enjoying the service but the added person in their corner didn’t keep them from early exits. Both were gone in near back-to-back hands and had to walk away to settle up payment with the therapist while the rest of the table had a laugh.
They have moved into the final level of late registration/re-entry with 370 entrants showing on the clock.
