The players return from break to begin Level 15, with increased blinds of 2,000-4,000 and a 4,000 ante.

With 89 players remaining from a field of 536, the average chip stack is around 120,000 (30 big blinds). A scan of the field turned up four players with at least 250K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

1.  Nir Sharon  –  286,000  (72 bb)
2.  Moshe Refaelovitz  –  275,000  (69 bb)
3.  Barek  –  274,000  (69 bb)

This flight will play as many 30-minute levels as it takes to reach the final 54 players, which will also be the money bubble. Everybody who bags chips for Day 2 will finish in the money.

Darryll Fish Leads Mixed Game Leaderboard

2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Event 3 Champion Darryll Fish

We added a new twist to the 2024 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open with a Mixed Games Leaderboard that features $10,000 in prizes, including a seat in the $5,300 buy-in $3,000,000 guarantee SHRPO Championship.

When highlighted the challenge yesterday, we focused on the non-hold’em specialists with a shot at the top spot on the leaderboard but it was former WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Champion Darryll Fish taking the early lead.

He topped Yuval Bronshtein heads-up to keep the 10-time Hollywood champ from getting number 11, and Fish is the early leader in the Mixed Game Leaderboard race.

There are still nine qualifying events, plenty of time to get those points.
