Event 8 has reached the final level of the evening and we still have plenty of big names vying for a spot in the Day 2 field including TK Miles, Justin Harvell, AJ Kelsall, Alex Rocha, and SHRP team member Loni Harwood.

It looks like SHRP regular Erik Christensen is at the top of the counts as he closes in on 200,000 in late action.

We are down to six tables in the $100,000 Guarantee WSOPC event with time running out for players to run up a Day 2 stack. They’ll finish out this level, play one more, then call it a night.

Tony Ruberto is back in the ballroom only one day removed from earning his first WSOPC ring. He won the $580 Six-Max over a tough final table and walked away with the jewelry.

The $100,000 Guarantee field is quickly shrinking and they are down to seven tables as they prepare for the final break of the day. Once this level is complete, they will leave the room for ten minutes and return to play two more levels this evening.

The $100,000 Guarantee field is back after their second break of the day and they are chasing a potential $200,000 prize pool. It likely won’t get there but it will be close.

Also taking a breather between games, we found David Prociak and Jon Borenstein at their new tables are finishing off an earlier ring event. Prociak beat out Borenstein for the PLO title earlier in the afternoon and both jumped into this game after a short break.

There are few soft spots in a $1,125 buy-in field but one table seems to have on of the tougher draws in the room.

Sitting around the table in order we found Allen Kessler, Ian O’Hara, Ari Engel, Ira Schwartz, AJ Kelsall, and Daniel Pearlman.

“How do you like this lineup to my left?” Pearlman joked.

Previous occupants at this table were former SHRP champs Matt Waxman and Eli Levy and SHR Tampa poker regular Herbert Woodbery hit the exit from this table after his aces were cracked by Kelsall’s big slick.
