After Hernandez, Michael Gallo holds 268,000 and Michael Acalde 260,500. Others among the Day 2 crew include this year’s Little Slick champion Brandon Byars (186,500), Anthony Pellegrini (146,000), Marvin Karlins (112,000), Filipp Khavin (81,500) and Tampa regular Cheri Beatty (65,000).

Only the top 45 players finish in the money with a min-cash worth $737. From there, payouts escalate steadily before topping out in the form of a $37,657 first prize. On top of that, the winner earns a $1,100 Main Event seat, a plethora of points toward the Series Champion race and, of course, the patented Seminole Hard Rock guitar trophy.

All Day 2 levels are 40 minutes with a 40-minute dinner break occurring later in the day. Updates throughout the tournament’s conclusion will be available right here at SHRTPoker.com.
