There’s been steady growth in today’s one-day $5,000 buy-in event since cards went in the air at 11am. The field ticked up and recently crossed the 53-entry threshold officially putting the prize pool over $250,000. That means the guarantee’s bested with registration and re-entry available until about 5:10pm.

No table in a $5,000 buy-in tournament is going to be soft, but one seems a little over the top. In the back corner, we found a tough group of players who recently spent some time together in the High Roller tournament.

Cliff Josephy, Jonathan Little, Seth Davies, and Paul Domb all drew the same table and they all mixed it in the High Roller yesterday but missed out on the final table. Rounding out that lineup? 2017 WPT Poker Showdown Championship winner Tony Sinishtaj.
