Level 5: 100/200 with a 25 ante
Total Entries: 72
Seniors Event players recently returned from their first break of the day and the field continues to grow. Although it did get one shorter before the break when the previously-mentioned Neil Blumenfield was knocked out and jumped into Event 1.
SHRP regular Robert Nielsen is the early leader and joined by Patrick Maguire and Alan Phillips with the only 30K+ stacks. Phillips is looking to stay hot in SHRP tournaments after winning an RRPO event at the end of November followed by another two weeks later at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Winter Poker Open.
Top stacks:
Robert Nielsen – 37,200 (186 bb)
Patrick Maguire – 35,000 (175 bb)
Alan Phillips – 33,075 (165 bb)
Max Romano – 27,700 (139 bb)
Alex Goodman – 27,450 (137 bb)
Stuart Zuckerberg – 27,300 (137 bb)

Level 4: 100/200
Total Entries: 65
With two events running in two different sections of the ballroom, players will keep everyone hopping all day long. The Seniors Event has quickly jumped up to 65 entries heading towards the first break of the day and they are building themselves a nice field.
Neil Blumenfield decided to play this event before taking his shot in Event 1, a warm-up for the 2015 WSOP November Niner. He’s a San Francisco native but we’ve been seeing him a lot sense he moved his home base to the Sunshine State.

Level 1: 25/50
We’re rolling into the first weekend of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open and it presents our players with the first single-day event on the schedule. But not just anyone can enter.
Event 2 is the $300 buy-in Seniors 50+ event and players must be at least 50 years old to get in the action. These are usually very active, very vocal, and a lot of fun for the participants.
They’ll sit down to 10,000 starting stacks and the tournament will run 30-minute levels throughout the day. Late registration is open until the start of Level 9 at 2:30pm and unlimited re-entries are available during that time. They’ll head off on a 40-minute dinner break around 4:30pm and return to play down to a Seniors Event champion.
Cards are about to go in the ai- and we’ll keep one eye watching this tournament while the third and fourth flights fly in Event 1.
