The turn card was the 7c, the small blind checked, Loni moved all in, and the small blind quickly folded. Loni Harwood took the pot.

The field in the $1 million guaranteed $2,650 SHRPO Big 4 is slowly building up, and it currently stands at 211 entries. The field needs to reach 413 to surpass the guarantee, and registration is open until 9:45 pm (with a single re-entry option).

As players bust out of the $5,250 SHRPO Championship on the other side of the room, we expect a good number of them to slide on over into this event.

There will be a 75-minute dinner break at 8:30 pm, and action is scheduled to end after Level 14, around 1:20 am.

Some of the early action included Harrison Gimbel check-raising from the cutoff after a flop of 8h6h5s, and he got the button to fold QxQx face up. Gimbel took the pot without showing his cards to reach 33K.

Harrison Gimbel  –  33,000  (165 bb)
