A huge cheer just erupted in the tournament room here at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, as the Money Bubble finally burst in the 600-player $575 mega-satellite that started at 12:00 noon. One poor soul finished 61st to earn nothing, while the other 60 players now have seats to the $10 Million Guaranteed Main Event that starts on Thursday.
There are several other mega-satellites in progress with smaller fields, as well as two trophy events — Event 18 ($240 Pot-Limit Omaha) and Event 19 ($150 No-Limit Hold’em).
