As the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown wraps up its first week, recognizable continue to enter the Ballroom.

Today is the series debut for Amanda Musumeci (Philadelphia, PA) and Chris Lindh (Goshen, NY) who are rising poker stars.

Musumeci has two career titles to go with nearly $1 million in live recorded tournament earnings*, while Lindh has more than $500,000 in career earnings.

Lindh made a splash last summer by making the final two tables of the 2013 WSOP Main Event with a 16th place finish for $358,000.

“Got to warm up for the $5 Million Guarantee,” says Lindh, who like many pros has his eye on the Championship Event (4/10-4/16).

Musumeci is also ready to bunker down here in Hollywood, FL for the next two weeks. She continues to chip up in Flight E and recently tweeted:

Heroed correctly again. 100k @1200.
