$365 Monster Stack NLH (Single Re-Entry)
Level 19: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante | Payouts
Players Remaining:  46 of 430

With 47 players remaining and 46 getting paid, SHRP team member Jessica Dawley saw a player move all in from early position for 72,000 and she shipped in over the top for more from the button. The blinds released and the hands were tabled.

Dawley:
Opponent:

Dawley was dominating before the flop and all but locked up the hand on the flop. The turn had her opponent drawing dead to 47th place and it was time for bubble play.

Tournament staff paused the clock, made the necessary instructions, and began the process of bursting the money bubble play.

Players Remaining:  61 of 430

The Monster Stack field lost 20 players in one level but one of them was not SHRP team member Sheddy Siddiqui.

Despite the previously mentioned bad beat, Siddiqui bounced back from around 30,000 after getting his aces cracked and now sits with 160,000 as players drop all around him.

Level 17: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante | Payouts
Players Remaining:  81 of 430

The Monster Stack returned from the dinner break and players went right to work. They are down to the last nine tables after one level and the bad beats aren’t hurting the pace.

We saw aces getting cracked at the same table within three hands of each other to put an exclamation point on it.

The first saw Luiz Guimaraes open and call a three-bet shove for 30,000 with . His opponent had before Guimaraes flopped top pair/open-ended straight draw on the board that got there on the turn. He had to dodge some boat outs but finished off the beat on the river to go up to 180,000.

Two hands later, SHRP team member Sheddy Siddiqui opened the action to 6,000 and picked up two callers. Another player moved all in for ~50,000 and Siddiqui shoved for ~86,000. The other two players released and it was Siddiqui with the rockets.

Siddiqui:
Opponent:

The flop was harmless and one of Siddiqui’s tablemates, not in the hand, asked for a sweat card. It came on the turn and the second cracking was complete on the trip ten river.

Level 6: 150/300 with a 25 ante | Structure
Entries: 127

We expect to see a lot of WSOP Circuit heroes over the next two weeks and we have two of the biggest winners in the field today. One local and one traveler with 15 rings between them.

Ari Engel is a regular in SHRP events and the added bonus of having a WSOP Circuit stop was sure to have him back. Engel owns eight and at one point held the record for most WSOPC wins.

Cory Waaland sits one behind Engel with seven WSOP Circuit titles of his own, good enough for top ten overall.

Neither has picked up WSOPC jewelry since March 2016, maybe this is the event that moves them up one spot.

Level 4: 100/200 | Structure
Entries: 103

The Six-Max event climbed over 100 entries as players prepared for their first break of the day. They are spread throughout the back of the ballroom and the short-handed tables seem plenty active.

Russell Sullivan and Ricardo Eyzaguirred grabbed their seats in the game and are joined together at the same table. As WSOP Circuit regulars, they have spent other table-time together and yesterday they each went deep in the opening event.

There were 1,612 entries in that tournament and Eyzaguirre made it down to 36th place and Sullivan went out in 24th. Each fell short of winning their second WSOP Circuit ring but this event might be the one.
