Victor Figueroa called a middle raise to 1,400 and the small blind player called as well. The big blind player shipped all in for 6,800 to get one fold. Figueroa and the small blind player called and checked it down until the board read 
and the small blind bet 4,500.
Figueroa thought for a second and called. The small blind tabled 
for a pair of queens but Figueroa’s rivered set with 
was good after the all-in player showed

Main Event players made it through three more flights and that means it is time for another breather. They will close out Level 6 and exit the Event Center to relax for 15 minutes.
Juan Martinez looks like the biggest stack in the room at the moment with 124,000. We will peek at the tables while they are gone to see who is joining him at the top of the counts.

Our latest entrant helped push the count over 350 and he is on a freeroll. Brett Bader is among a small group of players who have earned the Seminole Hard Rock Player of the Year and part of his prize package was an entry into all of our SHRP Championship and Main Events.
He’s back with us this afternoon looking to run that $1,100 into another title.

In addition to the Main Event kick off, we also have two LHPO trophy events running today and both are Omaha games. John Holley loves some non-hold’em games and would surely be playing one or the other today.
But he went and won a Main Event seat in a satellite so here he is.
Holley has six WSOP Circuit rings along with four SHRP major series title including two trophies in two days during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open in 2013.
I really hate to miss the Omaha tourneys today at @shrpo but we won a seat to the main and must use it today so lfg!
