The second break of the day is here and the field is only five new entries away from hitting 200. That’s a great turnout for the middle of the week and the $1,100 buy-in.

Event 16 continues to draw players to the Seminole Ballroom and it looks like it could double up the $100K guarantee. Late registration is available until 6:40 pm after the dinner break. This is a new tournament in this spot so we’ll see what kind of mark it can set.

Vitor Coelho is in the field today, visiting as usual from the left coast of the state. He picked up his first WPTDeepStacks title early in 2019 and looking for his second SHRP win. Coelho’s sole trophy from Hollywood came in a big one when he outlasted 2,692 entries in the opening event of the 2016 Poker Showdown.

The first break is complete and the $100,000 guarantee was already met before they left the room with plenty of time to push it higher. Evan Dahl is the leader coming back with 77,900 for a good start to his day.

Level 3:  100/200 with 200 ante
Entries:  89

As you would expect with a $1,100 buy-in tournament, the field is smaller but very talented. The action is a little slower with only a single re-entry option available to the players and they know how to use their chips.

Two of the most accomplished SHRP players are in the field. David Prociak has the most titles of anyone in our major series with seven total including a WSOP Circuit ring from 2017. Until last evening, Brian Altman was tied for second with five but Raminder Singh jumped a pot with his sixth.
