Three Trophies Awarded on Monday at Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown

There have been five trophies awarded throughout the early parts of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown and three of them were awarded on Monday.

The opening event of the series, the $350 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack Re-Entry, took an extra day to finish up and Vitor Coelho battled through a long final table to come out on top. It took nine hours on an extra day of play for Coelho to earn $140,476 and the trophy.

The final table of the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max was running simultaneously with the re-entry final table and it was a Seminole Hard Rock Poker Ambassador that took it down.

Michael Laake came out on top of a four-way deal that saw him take home $23,660 for his win. Evan Teitelbaum, Ory Hen and Charlemagen Benjamin each took home $17,000 in the deal.

While there were two final tables running, the $350 No Limit Hold’em Black Chip Bounty kicked off at noon. That event drew 140 players and it was Carlos Loving that came out on top of that field.

Loving netted $8,120 along with $100 for each player he eliminated along the way to earning the Hard Rock trophy.

As if that wasn’t enough action, there were three flights of the $150 No Limit Hold’em Re-Entry event that were under way as well. This event has a $150,000 guarantee on the prizepool.

There were 171 players in Day 1A, 257 players in Day 1B and 254 players in Day 1C. 24 made it through 1A, 26 made it through 1B and 21 made it through 1C. 71 players have already secured a seat in Day 2 of this event, but there are three more flights tomorrow.
