Level 8: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Entries: 93

Barry Pevner won his first SHRPO trophy yesterday afternoon, defeating Loni Harwood heads-up to claim the title for Event 4. During his postgame interviews, Pevner relayed a story about losing a heads-up battle against Loni’s father, Joel, back in 1999. Yesterday’s revenge was sweet for Pevner, but the Harwood family has struck back today.

There was significant multi-way preflop action for this hand, apparently beginning with a Pevner raise under the gun. Several players called before Joel Harwood squeezed all in for a bit less than 30,000 from the big blind. Pevner called all in for 10,525, and the rest of the table folded out of the way.

Pevner:
Harwood:

The board ran out , and Harwood’s ace-high earned him the pot and the knockout. Pevner was eliminated, now down 2-1 in battles against the family Harwood.

Joel Harwood – 45,000 (90 bb)
Barry Pevner – Eliminated

Elliott Zaydman opened to 1,300 in early position, and SHR Team member Loni Harwood defended her big blind.

The flop came , and both players checked. The turn was the , and Harwood led out for 2,400. Zaydman called, and the river was the . Harwood bet 5,000, leaving 7,000 behind, and Zaydman moved all in with the covering stack. After maybe 90 seconds of deliberation, Harwood surrendered her cards into the muck.

“Good fold,” Zaydman said as the pot was pushed in his direction. He tabled , showing sevens full.

“You flopped a set?” Harwood asked. “You should have bet. You would have gotten my whole stack. I had king-jack.”

Elliott Zaydman – 35,000 (88 bb)
Loni Harwood – 7,000 (18 bb)

Level 5: 100/200
Total Players: 75

The bounty event returned from their first break of the day and the count reached 75 entrants shortly afterward. This event drew 89 last year so we should easily top that before registration closes in two hours.

Dan Iman is having a good day. The five-time SHRP final tablist ran his stack over 60,000 in two hours while collecting three bounties along the way. Iman is now freerolling the tournament.

The previously mentioned Chino Rheem is done here today, at least in this tournament. He busted his first bullet early and his last one not long before the break.

Top stacks and notable names:

Dan Iman – 63,600 (318 bb)
Charles Chan – 49,500 (248 bb)
Robert Melo – 42,075 (210 bb)
George Dolofan – 38,000 (190 bb)
Kenneth Culbertson – 37,000 (185 bb)
Elliott Zaydman – 24,600 (123 bb)
John Holley – 6,150 (31 bb)

Level 1: 25/50
Total Players: 50

The NLH/PLO bounty event quickly climbed to 50 entrants and we’ve already had a few bounties collected in the first level.

Players have to be a little more careful with only one re-entry option available.

We found former November Niner Chino Rheem in the game early. Besides that big payday, Rheem also has three WPT titles with the latest coming in April when he won the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale.

Level 1: 25/50

The next new SHRPO tournament is underway in the back of the ballroom and it should be a nice group of players with this format.

Event 7 has a $570 buy-in with $200 going to bounties on each player and the game switches from No Limit Hold’em to Pot Limit Omaha every nine hands. The added juice for knocking someone out plus the two action-friendly games will keep things moving quickly.

Entrants start with 15,000 stacks and play 30-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration is open until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm but players are limited to a single re-entry during that time.

The tournament is scheduled to play out and we will have our next champion later this evening.

• Players begin with 15,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
• Late registration/single re-entry available until start of Level 9
• This is a one-day tournament and plays until completion
