$560 Buy-In Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 8: 300/600/75 ante
A few of local players are doing well after the first break. Angel Vu, who has enough chips to walk around and miss hands, has quietly moved over 80,000. Eric Piderit likes his table as they’ve jumped his 25,000 starting stack over 150,000 by the start of Level 8.
Piderit has a tournament win on his résumé from February during the WPT Lucky Hearts Open at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

Level 7: 250/500/50 ante
With the end of Level 6, registration has closed for Flight A with an unofficial 377 entrants showing on the clock. A fine start to the big tournament.
Brian Hastings continues to run up his stack while Angel Vu is also having a nice start to her tournament.
“I got to get away from poker last night.” Vu said. “I’m recharged.”

Really wanted to jam here as I thought UTG had a draw and UTG+1 would have to fold AK. Would've won a big one. Th… http://t.co/xaXZqjrc3C

$560 Buy-In Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 100/200
More than 300 players have register for Flight 1A as they head off on their first break of the day. Two new WSOP bracelet winners are making their first appearance at the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.
Brian Hastings is a local professional who won the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship during the 2012 World Series of Poker and Tyler Patterson just arrived in town fresh off his WSOP bracelet win this past summer. Patterson traveled a bit further than Hastings, his commute brought him from the great state of Washington.
1st event for me at Seminole Hard Rock. $560 nlh with 6 starting flights.

Event 8 is already setting a good pace for the rest of the flights to match. The entrant count clicked towards 250 as Level 2 rolled through and players are still arriving.
Some of those regular faces in the crowd include Errol Massey, Dimas Martinez, and Zach “Redlocks” Kessler, Eric Piderit, and TJ Shulman is back after his 10th place showing in Event 5.
