Evan Teitelbaum leads at the start of Day 2
The biggest buy-in tournament of the weekend drew 122 entrants with 12 players making it through to Day 2. The Six Max event attracted some top names to the field and it’s a stacked group of returning players.
Evan Teitelbaum won his first Seminole Hard Rock Poker trophy a few months at the Lucky Hearts Poker Open, now he’s in great position to add a second. He leads the returning field but will have to contend with some tough competition including Dan Weinman, Brandon Byars, Charlemagne Benjamin, former WPT Champion Ryan Van Sanford, reigning SHR Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen, and SHR Poker team member Michael Laake.
They’ll return at 2pm to play it down to a champion when the winner will take home $30,188 and a new trophy for their mantle.

November Niners Neil Blumenfield (with the slick hat) and Joshua Beckley (top, right)
We took another opportunity to look in on the $1,100 Six Max across the hallway and found a couple players with a little history.
Neil Blumenfield is playing his final bullet in the single re-entry event and found himself seated with Joshua Beckley. The two of them made the 2015 WSOP Main Event final table and battled it out on live TV in November. Blumenfield finished third while Beckley lost heads up to run away champ Joe McKeehen.
They have 15 minutes left in this level before they take a 40-minute dinner break. The prize pool surpassed the $75,000 Guarantee and has climbed over $100,000 with an hour left to get in.

They have another 90 minutes to play before going on a 40-minute dinner break. Registration will close when they resume and we’ll see who far Event 4 blasted over the $75,000 Guarantee.

Short handed in the meeting rooms
Most people were concentrating on the Event 1 money bubble but there were others across the hall ready to play some Six-Max poker. With the ballroom packed to the seams earlier in the day, the $1,100 buy-in, short-handed Event 4 was set up in the meeting rooms on the other side of the hallway.
