Level 6: 300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight A Entries: 355

We had another nice run at the registration desk over the last level to push the count over 350. We have 381 entries for this flight last year and that number is in play.

It would be tough to run these big tournaments if not for our loyal group of regulars who support every series. We have a room full of them again along with our out-of-town visitors.

Among them include Nancy Thomas, Willie Wiggins, Zachary Mullennix (fresh off a WSOPC Coco win), and reigning WSOP Seniors Champion Howard Mash.

Level 5: 200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight A Entries: 314

The first break is complete, the entry count climbed over 300, and we have a new chip leader.

SHRP regular Michael Tait took his 20,000 starting stack and pushed it up to 80,300 in the first two hours of the day. That is good enough for the early lead with former November Niner Neil Blumenfield sitting in second with 77,400.

Nic Manion, another WSOP Main Event final table member (from 2018), began on a hot streak but settled back down to 45,000 from his high of 63,400.

Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight A Entries: 281

The clock is ticking down to the first break of the day and the field is close to hitting 300 entries at the midpoint of the registration period. We should surpass last year’s opening flight number and then add some more.

Jeff Kessler was another entrant here at the start. We don’t get to see the fun-loving grinder as often these days as the snowbird only makes his way south for this series. Kessler has some RRPO success; he won the RRPO Seniors title in 2013 for a nice payday.

Level 3: 100/200 with a 200 ante
Flight A Entries: 220

The Flight A entry count is quickly climbing, more than doubling over the first level and it is now over 200 with a lot of time to build it up. More than three hours remain to get in the game but Flight B goes at 5 pm if you miss out.

Jeffrey Trudeau Jr took an early seat and sports one of the better lists of accomplishments in the room. The young grinder already has more than $1,7 million in career earnings, 194 recorded cashes, and 20 tournament wins.

Seven of those wins resulted in a WSOP Circuit ring including the WSOPC Coco High Roller title at our sister room in Coconut Creek.

Level 2: 100/100 with a 100 ante
Flight A Entries: 164

Nic Manion is having a good start to his series. Midway through the first level, a new player to the table put his brand new stack in the middle after catching kings on his first hand. Manion was sitting behind him with aces and left his opponent with only 200 behind when the rockets held.

The micro-stack went in on the next hand, Manion and another opponent in the big blind came along to see a flop. The big blind ended up getting his 20,300 stack all-in and Manion called.

Manion faded clubs on the turn and river to send both players out while early stacking to 63,400. He found two big pairs in consecutive hands and got action on both.

Level 1: 100/100
Flight A Entries: 82

The clock hit 11 am and tournament staff put cards in the air to start the 2019 RRPO series. The start of a 26-tournament run that will culminate with our WPT RRPO Champion in two weeks.

Players will notice a little change from the last few series. The tournaments will play out in the same area but the Event Center was replaced by the upgraded Seminole Ballroom. A huge space with 90 tables spread from front to back.

The wait is over and it’s time to kick off the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open”. We are starting off big with Event 1 featuring a huge $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The tournament has a $400 buy-in and eight starting flights between now and Saturday evening. Plenty of chances to enter and spin up a stack for a deep run.

Players will start with 20,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes each.
