We’ve come to expect the smaller flights on the Thursday morning flights. If that holds true for Event 1, we’re going to have a very nice field when registration closes for good on Sunday. Flight 1A has over 200 entrants at the start of Level 2 and 30 minute away from a PM hour.

Seminole Hard Poker regular TJ Shulman is an early adopter in the Ultimate Re-Entry and he’s run his stack up after knocking out a player. A nice result here will push him over $500,000 in career earnings with a big chunk of that coming from a third place finish in Event 1 of the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” a few weeks ago.

Tournament Director Tony Burns kicks off the Ultimate Re-Entry

The next big Seminole Hard Rock Poker series is underway in the ballroom with the kick off of Event 1. The Ultimate Re-Entry event is sure to have South Florida buzzing with a new twist in tournament poker and we’ll have some big money paid out in the end.

The tournament has a $500,000 Guarantee, eight starting flights, and extended late registration/re-entry. The first tweak comes on the opening day structure; instead of a stopping at a standard time, all Day 1s will play until just 10% of the flight’s starting field remain.

Everyone who bags up chips at the end of the their flight are in the money coming back for Day 2 on Monday.

Even if players bag up chips for Day 2, they may play as many starting flights as they wish. But instead of the normal “best stack forward” process, now players will be rewarded for advancing multiple stacks. Players surviving more than one Day 1 flight will receive a $2,500 cash payout for the lesser multiple chip stack. The lesser stack will also be pulled out of play.

A great chance for players to bank a big profit before they return for Day 2.

They will begin with 15,000 stacks and play 30-minute levels throughout the opening flights. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 13 at 5:45pm. Play will continue until we reach 10% remaining and they will return on Monday.

If players don’t survive 1A, the next flight kicks off at 5pm with registration open until 11:45pm.
