Event 1 Flight C: Blumenfield Firing Again

November 17, 2016 @ 12:11PM by AlCantHang

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 3: 75/150 with a 25 Ante
Flight C Entrants: 220

With less than 20% of the starting fields expected to make it through to Day 2, it’s not uncommon to see some players taking multiple shots at the big prize pool.

Former November Niner Neil Blumenfield is one of them but he doesn’t plan to make it a habit. The 2015 WSOP Main Event third place finisher tried to get through in both Flights A and B but was unable to carry it forward to Sunday.

Not planning to enter all 8 starting flights @shrpo but I am in third of first three

Event 2: Looking for the Split Pot Champion

November 17, 2016 @ 11:45AM by AlCantHang

$300 Limit Omaha/8 (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 100/200 Limits

We still have six flights to power through in Event 1 but we’ll find our first 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” champion while they play down.

Event 2 is a $300 buy-in tournament and they’ll be playing some Limit Omaha/8 all day long. The split-pot game draws a smaller crowd but it will be a talented group of players trying to scoop their opponents.

Each entrant will sit down to a 10,000 starting stack and they’ll play 30-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm and they can re-enter during that time if they manage to bust a stack. This is scheduled as a one-day tournament and we’ll have our first champion of the series before the night is through.

Action gets underway at noon and we’ll keep an eye on them as the cruise through the day.

Players begin with 10,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 9
This is a one-day tournament and plays until completion

Event 1 Flight C: Moving Up

November 17, 2016 @ 11:18AM by AlCantHang

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50
Flight C Entrants: 150

Cards went in the air for Flight C on time and the ballroom is quickly filling with 150 entrants in the game before we were very far into the first level.

Stuart Greenbaum was found at the front of the room and trying to run up another stack. The three-time SHRP champ had the biggest stack at the first break of Flight A but that did not translate into a bag of chips at the end of the day.

Event 1 Flight C: Back Again

November 17, 2016 @ 10:55AM by AlCantHang

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

Wednesday was a great opening day for the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” with a big turnout for the first two flights of the $1 Million Guaranteed Event 1.

The first flight drew an impressive 403 entrants to the Poker Room to kick things off and they followed up with another 443 entrants in the evening session inside the ballroom. That puts us well on the way to hitting the seven-digit guaranteed prize pool with six more flight to go. Of those 846 entrants, only 160 are still around for a chance at the money on Day 2.

Today brings another two flights into the $360 buy-in tournament with the first set to go at the top of the hour and Flight D running at 6pm this evening.

Entrants will sit down to 20,000 starting stacks and play 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 3:30pm and they will continue to play down until the end of Level 14. Any players remaining with a stack will put their chips in a bag with a return for Day 2 on Sunday.

We expect another big day this afternoon and looking to get one step closer to the $1,000,000 prize pool.

Event 1 Flight B: Ido Ashkenazi Busts One

November 17, 2016 @ 12:59AM by Seminole Hard Rock Poker

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 117 of 443

In a three-way pot, Ido Ashkenazi was in early position facing off against a late position player and another player on the button. The flop laid and the button player moved all in out of turn for just over 50,000. After some clarification, action was on Ashkenazi and he moved all in for more. The late position player folded and the button was at risk.
