Michael Bozeman was down to just 2,000 in chips after the dinner break in Event 2 at the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open, but he has made a serious comeback since that time. Bozeman ran that stack up as high as 40,000 but he had dropped a little bit to 30,000 at this point in play.

Level 4: 200/400 Limits

The field in the Omaha/8 tournament reached 50 entrants as the players took their first break of the day. Regular Luis Santoni (Aguanda, FL) is the early leader but there was little movement with big stacks and low levels.

Just two more hours remain to get to the ballroom and chop some pots.

A few more locals put their money down to play some poker today and we have a family affair in both tournaments running. Angela Prada-Moed and Michael Moed each have seats with Angela playing in Event 1 while her husband plays a little Omaha/8 in Event 2.

Angela has plenty of results to her credit including five cashes and two final tables during last summer’s WSOP. Michael’s résumé shows six Omaha/8 titles including one in each of the last two Lucky Heart series.

When the two aren’t beating down opponents at the table, the two own Sweet Times Cupcakes in Miami. A popular destination for those looking to get their baked goods fix.

Level 1: 50/100 Limits

While most of the room is mixing it up in the big $1,000,000 Guarantee Event 1, a smaller group of players are now taking their shot with some four-card action.

The first non-Hold’em tournament of the series features Limit Omaha/8 for a fun day of split pots. It will be a smaller field but most will be experienced in this special variant.

They start off with 15,000 stacks, 40-minute levels, and a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool. Late registration or re-entry is available until the start of Level 7 giving them plenty of room to work or get back in.

Robert Campbell (Miami, FL) will be one to watch as it gets underway. He has ten career tournaments wins with all of them coming in Omaha/8 tournaments including the $250 Pot Limit Omaha/8 during the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.
