Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Mike Laake (left)

After a bet and some raises, Mike Laake was on the button and called off his last 13,000 preflop.

Opponent: AcKs
Laake: 9h8h

“Oh you’re not gonna like how you lose this one,” Laake joked.

Runout: Qs8c7s5d5h

Indeed, Laake’s hand caught a pair and he bested the ace-high of his opponent. With that, the Seminole Hard Poker team member raked a pot of about 34,000 and grew above starting stack.

Event 1 Flight F: Woman’s Best Friend

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 4: 100/200 with a 25 ante
Flight F Entries: 443

Every table in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown opener is playing nine-handed. That is, except for Table 51. While Dani Dayan occupies Seat 9, she’s got a tough competitor on her direct left in Seat 10 — her dog, Shemesh. This isn’t the first time the pair has been featured in the blog. Back in 2014 they ran deep in a $150 finishing 13th in a 560-entry field and she made the final table of this tournament last year.

Together, they hope for another long few days at the Hard Rock as they are amidst what is expected to be a 3,000-entry tournament.

Event 1 Flight F: Errol Massey Back on the Felt

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 3: 75/150
Flight F Entries: 360

Errol Massey

After a 12-hour day yesterday, Errol Massey is back in action here at the Seminole Hard Rock. Massey’s long session came in the form of a third-place finish in yesterday’s $300 Omaha 8 event. He wasn’t able to outlast runner-up Rodger Smith or the eventual champion Robert Campbell and bowed out just shy of his second major tournament title.

Massey, a regular on the South Florida felt, wasn’t deterred and is in search of another deep run here in Flight F of the massive Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown opener.

Event 1 Flight E: Play Complete

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
End of Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 Ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 141 of 721

Michel Dubreuil

Play has come to an end for Flight E with right around 141 players remaining and Michel Dubreuil back in the lead with 290,500. There was a flurry of action and we will have to wait and see if his chip lead will hold once the official numbers are released.

Also advancing from Flight E were Rafael Reis (158,500), Marsha Wolak (134,500), Stuart Paterson (119,000), Cheri Beatty (114,500), Jake Schwartz (112,500) and Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Mukul Pahuja (81,500).

Full chip counts will be released once they are available.
