Players in Flight B of the $1,000,000 guaranteed WPTDeepStacks opener are in the midst of their first break of the day. Cards go back in the air at roughly 1:15pm local time and we’ll take a look at some of the notable stacks at that time.

Yesterday’s strong turnout has filtered into today’s play as Flight B is just a few entries ahead of Flight A’s pace. The clock shows 245 to this point (yesterday had 240) with lat registration and re-entry available until about 6:30pm. As is, the combined field sits at over 600 entries.

Last year in this event, Michael Graffeo defeated a field of 1,509 entries earning better than $290,000 in the process. Back then, he was a recent transplant to South Florida and he’s had continued success in the 12 months since with a number cashes throughout the state.

Graffeo is in the Flight B action as the clock shows 214 entries early in Level 3.

Yesterday, Joel Harwood spent the early stages of tournament play jockeying for a title in the Omaha/8 event across the hall. He ultimately finished shy of a payday, and decided to give no limit a chance today.

Harwood, the father of pro Loni Harwood, is a regular on the Seminole Hard Rock felt and has enjoyed a good amount of success. Among his two tournament wins was a title here in 2016 when he won a $200 HORSE event during the Everglades Poker Open.

Yesterday’s Flight A began the WPTDeepStacks Season 5 Hollywood Main Event in a big way with 369 entries. A good chunk of those were satellite entries, and today’s play is off to a slightly more modest start, though still strong.

With the weekend underway, a number of players have flocked south and some new faces are in the action. One of those faces is that of Brian Reinert.

Reinert is a regular on the poker circuit and not one to miss a Florida series. Recently, he flew to Tampa from his home in Atlanta after seeing a monster turnout at our sister property there. He couldn’t find a cash, but hopes to use his entry in today’s Flight B as an opportunity to add to his more than $560,000 in reported earnings.

One flight is in the books for the WPTDeepStacks opening event on the 2018 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open schedule and the second is set to roll at the top of the hour.

Flight A drew 369 entries to the $1,000,000 Guarantee, $1,100 buy-in tournament to put the field on pace to reach the seven-digit prize pool mark. It should be another great turnout with a massive number expected on Saturday.

Tournament players sit down to 25,000 starting stacks and the tournament runs 40-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration is available until the start of Level 10 after a one-hour dinner break with players limited to a single re-entry option if they bust out.
