Level 9:  500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante
Flight G Entries: 1,009

Registration closed on the seventh of eight starting flights for RRPO Event 1 and it was a big one. The accounting shows 1,009 entries this afternoon to make it the second biggest (non-Championship) starting flight in our history.

The combined total is up to 3,792 (good for sixth on the all-time list) with an entire flight remaining to push it higher.

Flight H kicks off at 5 pm with late registration available until 9:30 pm.

Flight G Entries: 985

The clock is ticking down to get a seat in Flight G, they will take a break in 15 minutes and registration will close when they return at 3:30 pm.

We found a few more travelers in the field who have success in the Sunshine State. David Moses comes to us from South Carolina and he picked up his first career WSOP Circuit ring last winter at our sister room in Coconut Creek.

JP Kolp hails from Lousiana and followed Moses’ suit this past September when he won the WSOPC Coco $400 Monster Stack for a $43K payout.

Level 7:  300/600 with a 600 ante
Flight G Entries: 933

The Flight G entry count continues to climb at an impressive pace and cruised right over 900 entries with an hour remaining to register. Both the flight count and the total tournament number are good enough to put Event 1 firmly on the all-time top 10 list with a lot of time to move it higher.

Some more familiar faces popped up in the room including former WSOP Ladies Champ Marsha Wolak, WSOP Circuit winner (and two-time Borgata Almighty Stack champ) Greg Fishberg, SHR Tampa regular Jordan Joeckel, and WPTDeepStacks champion Vitor Coelho.

Level 5:  200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight G Entries: 782

The first break is complete and Flight G picked up another 60 entries during that time. The field will continue to snowball for the next four levels, only coming to a stop when registration closes at 3:30 pm.

We found our two biggest stacks in the room while they were gone. Carlos Bezara had 87,000 after four levels to lead then picked up another 11,000 on the first hand back when he sent an opponent out. Ira Schwartz looks like our second biggest with 81,000 with a handful of players behind him in the high 70Ks.

The Seminole Ballroom is packed right now but it about to empty at the end of the level. Flight G has a 15-minute break coming up and we will have our first look at the early chip leaders.

As with any big Hollywood series, we always have a great contingent traveling across the state from our sister poker room in Tampa. Today is no different and they are adding to our huge Saturday afternoon.

Among them, we found Wally Maddah, Tom Nguyen, Mark Winchell, and Jeff Morzella but there are others throughout the room.

Level 2:  100/100 with a 100 ante
Flight G Entries: 414

Players continue to pour into the Seminole Ballroom and the field doubled over 400 entries in the first 30 minutes. There is a steady line at the registration desk that will keep feeding seats.

Trung Pham grabbed his seat early in Level 1, trying to make his way to Day 2 like he did last year. He did a little better than sliding his way through the field, he won the 2018 RRPO version of this tournament. Pham earned $123,644 for the win after a seven-way deal at the final table.

Level 1:  100/100
Flight G Entries: 217

Flight G didn’t even have to wait until the start of play to put Event 1 over its $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. There were 160 entries 10 minutes before the start of the day to slide right past the magic number.

We’re going to have a packed house all day long and this is a great start to the first Saturday of the series.

Level 1:  100/100

It’s going to be a huge day in the Seminole Ballroom. Event 1 has nearly reached its $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and might reach it before cards go in the air for Flight G. The first six flights combined for 2,783 entries and only 159 more are needed to hit the mark.

But we expect to grow much bigger throughout the day and push the last two flights near 1,000 before registration closes. Flight G kicks off at 11 am and we will close it out with Flight H at 5 pm.

Players will start with 20,000 deep stacks and Day 1 levels last 30 minutes, increasing to 40 minutes for Day 2. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 3:30 pm and Flight G will come to an end after Level 14. Those with chips at that point will join the 427 players who booked their seats for Day 2 on Sunday.
