The 2019 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open’s largest buy-in event, the $50,000 Super High Roller (Single Re-Entry), set record high marks. The guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000 was nearly doubled as 41 entries generated a prize pool of $1,988,500.

Day 1 action concluded when the final seven players reached the money, which happened in dramatic fashion. Leading the way into Day 2 is Jason Mercier with a massive lead, holding more than half of the chips in play and nearly five times as many chips as his nearest competitor.
