Level 1: 100/100

Flight A of the Ultimate Re-Entry event is still moving along with registration open but there is another option if players want to start fresh. Flight B is underway in the Event Center with the second of eight flights.

This tournament has a $360 buy-in and a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool with a twist on the best-stack-forward concept. Players may enter any or all of the flights, even if they already advanced. If players bag in multiple flights, they will play their biggest on Day 2 and earn a $2,500 for all other stacks.

In addition, all starting flights will play down to the money so all Day 2 returns will already set to cash. Each flight will come to an end when 10% of the starting field, rounding down, remain.

They will sit down to 15,000 starting stacks, 30-minute levels, and a big blind ante structure. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until 11:45 this evening to give players plenty of chances to make it down to the Event Center to take a shot.

Action is underway and we’ll be here the entire time.

The Flight A count is teasing 500 entries this afternoon and we should get there with 90 minutes remaining for late registration.

Two more familiar faces popped up in the field and they are sitting next to each other. Ory Hen has a handful of SHRP titles and won the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year title in 2015. Al Gomez is always grinding but still looking for his first title. He has plenty of big results through including his best career cash in the opening event of the 2015 Lucky Hearts Poker Open for $63,000.

Level 8: 300/600 with a 600 ante
Flight A Entries: 446

Frankie Flowers is never bored at the poker table, he’s always having a good time. Now he’s having fun and picking up chips.

The latest run-up saw him three-bet preflop from early position followed by a short stack shove from the cutoff. The OG raiser and Flowers called to see the flop. The other live player bet 6,000 and Flowers put him all in for his last 15,000. He folded and Flowers tabled his trip kings .

The all-in player flipped up , picked up a gutshot draw on the turn, but missed the river to exit before the second break. Flowers stacked his castle higher and up to 147,000.

Genevieve Breeze is another visitor from the great Northeast and making the most of her time down here. She was already well above starting stack when two opponents were all-in for 5,700 each and she had them covered and dominated.

Her was ahead of and but the gave her a chop sweat. The board finished with the turn and river to send two players out and push her stack to 37,900.

Cards are back in the air after the first break and we have our early frontrunner. Northeast grinder Anthony Cuffari came down to the Sunshine State for some Ultimate Re-Entry action and he ran his 15,000 starting stack over 80,000 in four levels.

Cuffari has several tournament wins in the colder climates, including a Borgata Saturday Series win in October, but he is down here looking for his first SHRP cash.

Level 1: 100/100

The new year is here and we are kicking off our first big series of 2019 with the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open. It features 25 great events over the next 13 days and we are going big right out of the gates.

Event 1 is the return of the popular Ultimate Re-Entry tournament that will attract thousands of players and create a huge prize pool. The tournament has a $360 buy-in with a $500,000 Guarantee and eight starting flights. In addition to the standard payouts, players also have a chance to bank some money if they survive more than one flight.

Unlike most tournaments, players may enter as many of the eight flights as they wish. If they advance more than one stack for Day 2 on Monday, they will play their biggest bag and we will pay them $2,500 for every other one that makes it through.

Flight A starts at 11am in the Event Center and each player will sit down to a 15,000 starting stack. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available later than normal as well, this time registration will close at the start of Level 13 at 5:45pm.

All starting flights will also play down to the money. Each flight will end when 10% of the starting field remains, rounding down, and all of them will return for Day 2 already set to go to the payout desk.

This is a great way to start the series and we expect one of the biggest fields in Florida poker history by the time registration closes late Sunday evening.
