Joe Cada

A few more players joined up including Maria Ho and Joe McKeehen. The addition of McKeehen after he finished the Championship in 50th place, short of his first WPT title.

His inclusion in the High Roller also means that fully 20% of the field has a WSOP Main Event bracelet. McKeehen (2015 WSOP Main Event Champion) joined Joe Cada (2009) and Ryan Riess (2013) and we might have another one waiting in the wings.

The High Roller field is moving north and growing as we move deeper into the afternoon hours. There are two tables running and a few players in the Championship peeking over to see what’s going on.

Brock Wilson took a seat after the start and ready to ride his heater. He earned more than $1,000,000 in the last two months of 2019 including a $300,000 score in our RRPO High Roller, finishing second to Bryn Kenney.

The WPT LHPO Championship is moving on to Day 3 with only 54 players. That means we have a lot of players looking for more action and none is bigger than our $25K High Roller kicking off at noon.

The two-day tournament has a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and a lot of interest from the big names in South Florida.

High Rollers will start with 100,000 stacks and play 40-minute levels. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 10 at 8 pm following the 90-minute dinner break. They’ll return and continue playing until the eight-handed final table is set for tomorrow.

We expect a very talented field this afternoon and look forward to seeing who makes a big splash.
