The entry count continued to click up as Day 1B moved into the third level of the day and they now have more than 500 in the game. The prize pool surpassed $170,000 with plenty of room to grow.

We have new faces in the room today including Gili Prizament. The last time we saw her run deep was a couple of weeks ago when she made the last two tables of the big $150 Showdown Big Stack multi-flight tournament.

Michael Newman (1-seat), Eric Piderit (2-seat). and David Shmuel (3-seat)

“Look at this lineup!” Eric Piderit joked.

“You have the loudest donkey (pointing at Michael Newman in the 1-seat), the second loudest donkey (pointing at himself), and the quiet assassin (David Shmuel to his left).”

“Who’s the quiet assassin?” Newman asked before looking up.

“Oh,” he responded after realizing Shmuel fit that bill.

Those three players in the lineup make up a lot of success in our events. Newman, Shmuel, and Piderit have a combined 10 major SHRP Hollywood titles with $1.85 million in combined earnings. Newman tops the trio with the biggest win; taking down the 2017 RRPO Championship for $374,240.

Matthew Zarcadoolas

The Day 1A field is dropping quickly with only 72 players remaining and about an hour remaining in their day. They still have plenty of time to catch the leaders.

Former SHRP winner Matthew Zarcadoolas is one of those making a move, up to 375,000 at the clock ticks down toward the end of the day.
