SHRP Team member Sheddy Siddiqui got a shove through uncalled a moment ago, but his second attempt went to showdown. He shoved for about 6,000 or so, and Luis Santoni put him at risk with the covering stack.

Level 9: 300/600 with a 100 Ante
Players Remaining: 150 of 312

Level 9 has just begun, and registration is now closed for Event 14. This event needed to draw 100 entries to meet the $50,000 guarantee. Instead, it got 312 entries, more than tripling the guarantee and generating a prizepool worth $156,000. That money will be shared by the final 36 players, with the breakdown as follows:

1st: $32,899
2nd: $22,308
3rd: $14,586
4th: $11,638
5th: $8,736
6th: $6,724
7th-9th: $5,023
10th-12th: $3,338
13th-15th: $2,340
16th-18th: $1,732
19th-24th: $1,420
25th-30th: $1,201
31st-36th: $1,014

Players who are eliminated in the next few hours still have time to jump into the $250 Six-Max Pot Limit Omaha event running in the corner of the room. Registration for that event remains open until about 7:30 p.m.

Level 7: 200/400 with a 50 Ante
Total Entries: 290

The $50,000 Guarantee is long gone, as well as the next $100,000 milestone. The field is only ten entrants away from tripling up the guaranteed prize pool to $150,000 and it looks like they will get there.

Sam Panzica had to fire an unfortunate final bullet into the single re-entry tournament after his pocket tens ran into and the board ran . He was all-in with his second shot and pulled a double up with a pair of kings.

Level 5: 100/200 with a 25 Ante
Total Entries: 233

It looked like Seminole Hard Rock Poker regular Zoltan Czinkota would be the first break leader. His table-mates told the story of how he showed down aces or kings in three straight hands to run his stack over 50,000.

But it was Federico Munoz Moreno sitting atop the counts on break followed by former SHR Poker champion Steven Bennett as the only three players who ran their 12,000 starting stack over 50,000 in four levels.

Top stacks and notables names:

Federico Munoz Moreno – 56,800 (284 bb)
Steven Bennett – 55,675 (278 bb)
Zoltan Czinkota – 53,925 (270 bb)
Justin Bond – 46,000 (230 bb)
Timothy Bullard – 45,975 (230 bb)

Event 14 players are on their first break of the day after doubling up the $50,000 in two hours. They’ll return to play four more levels before registration is closed at 4:30pm.

We’ll walk the empty short-handed tables on break to track down our early leaders.

Even with the limited single re-entry option, the Event 14 field will cross over 150 entrants during the third level. Local regular Scott Efron is one of those already on their final bullet when his Big Slick couldn’t catch against jacks.

Aaron Mermelstein is an early riser today and grinding away at the front of the room. He’s a two-time WPT Champion and freerolled into the series ending WPT Tournament of Champions thanks to his win at Maryland Live! in September.

It didn’t take long for Event 14 to rip right past the $50,000 Guarantee and the prize pool is over $60,000 in the second level of the day. Nearly 4 hours left in late registration so we’re going to have a nice number in the end.

Michael Wang is back in the ballroom, among the crowd of players making their way to South Florida for the big Championship week on the horizon. This is a nice little warm up for him as later he tries to add a WPT title to his WSOP bracelet and WSOP Circuit ring.
