Dani Dayan has more on her hands than just her tablemates today. Along for the ride in her lap is her dog, Shemmy. And apparently they’re making a good duo as Dayan is now at 150,000 chips.
There is no word if there will be any Milk Bones put in play on the next break for Shemmy but we’ll see if we can get a ruling from the floor.

With such a juge field, it’s no surprise we have more than a few former Seminole Hard Rock Poker champions. Two more were located before the break.
Daren Stabinski is back in the building looking to add to his four titles on properly including the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll” Poker Open event just a week after losing to Angel Vu heads up in the $1,100 6-Max tournament.

Flight 1E currently has 714 entrants showing on the tournament board to make it the biggest flight of the year.
