Level 1: 100/100

Flight A of the Ultimate Re-Entry event is still moving along with registration open but there is another option if players want to start fresh. Flight B is underway in the Event Center with the second of eight flights.

This tournament has a $360 buy-in and a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool with a twist on the best-stack-forward concept. Players may enter any or all of the flights, even if they already advanced. If players bag in multiple flights, they will play their biggest on Day 2 and earn a $2,500 for all other stacks.

In addition, all starting flights will play down to the money so all Day 2 returns will already set to cash. Each flight will come to an end when 10% of the starting field, rounding down, remain.

They will sit down to 15,000 starting stacks, 30-minute levels, and a big blind ante structure. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until 11:45 this evening to give players plenty of chances to make it down to the Event Center to take a shot.

Action is underway and we’ll be here the entire time.

• $500,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool

The Flight A count is teasing 500 entries this afternoon and we should get there with 90 minutes remaining for late registration.

Two more familiar faces popped up in the field and they are sitting next to each other. Ory Hen has a handful of SHRP titles and won the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year title in 2015. Al Gomez is always grinding but still looking for his first title. He has plenty of big results through including his best career cash in the opening event of the 2015 Lucky Hearts Poker Open for $63,000.

Frankie Flowers is never bored at the poker table, he’s always having a good time. Now he’s having fun and picking up chips.

The latest run-up saw him three-bet preflop from early position followed by a short stack shove from the cutoff. The OG raiser and Flowers called to see the flop. The other live player bet 6,000 and Flowers put him all in for his last 15,000. He folded and Flowers tabled his trip kings .

The all-in player flipped up , picked up a gutshot draw on the turn, but missed the river to exit before the second break. Flowers stacked his castle higher and up to 147,000.

Genevieve Breeze is another visitor from the great Northeast and making the most of her time down here. She was already well above starting stack when two opponents were all-in for 5,700 each and she had them covered and dominated.

Her was ahead of and but the gave her a chop sweat. The board finished with the turn and river to send two players out and push her stack to 37,900.

Cards are back in the air after the first break and we have our early frontrunner. Northeast grinder Anthony Cuffari came down to the Sunshine State for some Ultimate Re-Entry action and he ran his 15,000 starting stack over 80,000 in four levels.

Cuffari has several tournament wins in the colder climates, including a Borgata Saturday Series win in October, but he is down here looking for his first SHRP cash.

Level 3: 100/200
Entries: 54

We have a great turnout so far in our first non-hold’em game with 54 entries in the game after the first hour. They are on their way to topping the 78 this game attracted last year and we are waiting to see if defending champ Michael Moed returns.

SHRP regular Brian Gelrod was an early entrant into the four-card game and this is one of his favorite formats. He has more than a dozen final tables to his credit with seven of them coming in Omaha/8 games.
