$1,100 Deep Stack NLH Shootout (Freeze-Out) 90-Player Cap | Structure Level 1: 100/100 Entries: 49
Jake Ferro
Action kicked off for the first Shootout we’ve run since 2016 and we have nearly 50 players in the freeze-out in early action. Registration will remain open until 4:15 pm after the first break so plenty of time to hit the 90-player cap.
Those in early action include Loni Hui, Jason Young, Natasha Mercier, Jessica Cai, Eric Piderit, Boris Kravets, and 2021 WPT RRPO Championship runner-up Jake Ferro. Young probably has the best Shootout result of anyone in the event at this point; he won the WSOP $1,500 Shootout in 2008 for his first bracelet.

$1,100 Deep Stack NLH Shootout (Freeze-Out) 90-Player Cap | Structure Level 1: 100/100
We are bringing back an old-school game this afternoon at 2 pm; the Shootout returns to the Grand Ballroom, the first we’ve run since the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. The tournament has a $1,100 buy-in and 90-player cap so get your seat early.
Players start with 20K deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes. Late registration is available until the start of Level 5 at 4:15 pm or the cap is reached. The Shootout format means we will have ten tables with nine players each and they continue until one player at the table has all the chips, like a sit-n-go.
Those ten winners will return at noon tomorrow to play the final table. All players at the final table will start with 200,000 in their stack, blinds will roll back to Level 9, and levels increase to 40 minutes.
It should be a fun tournament and we look forward to the return of some “Maverick” style poker.

$600 Deep Stack Pot-Limit Omaha (Re-Entry) $200,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts Level 13: 1,500/2,500 with a 2,500 ante Players Remaining: 52 of 405
We put together a nice multi-flight Pot Limit Omaha tournament with the new week and the $600 Deep Stack PLO event drew 405 entries over three starting flights to put more than $200,000 in the prize pool.
Of that group, 52 players survived their flight to bag a Day 2 stack and they return this afternoon at 2 pm to begin playing down to a winner.
The stacks are deep, the levels are long, and this will be a battle for the top spot.
$200 Big Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) $200,000 Guaranteed | Structure Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante Flight D Entries: 222
Nashaat Antonious
Event 17 players returned from their first break with 222 entries in the game and set to hit the $200,000 guarantee later this afternoon.
Walking among the field, we found Eric Piderit ready to produce some content. He joked with the table that he would shove from the button if it folded to him, but Nashaat Antonious nixed that with a limp from late position. Piderit checked his cards and moved all in any way, his shove for 6,200.
The blinds folded and Antonious quickly called.
Antonious: Piderit:
Piderit had three aces to double up but at best made a pair of tens on the board to head out.
“Now I can play the Shootout,” Piderit said.
Nashaat Antonious – 26,200 (87 bb) Eric Piderit – Eliminated

The first three flights of RRPO Event 17 ran on Monday and combined for 849 entries to put $135,840 toward the $200,000 guarantee in the $200 Big Stack. That means they only need 401 new entries today over three starting flights and it should be an easy get this afternoon.
Event 17 players start with 15,000 in their stacks and all levels last 30 minutes. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 7 at 2:30 pm.
