$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

End of Level 12: Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante
47 Players Remaining (of 157 Flight D Entries)

“I’m too tried to count,” says Rich Milroy (St. Petersburg, FL) who bags 398,800 (200 bb) which is twice the count as any other player in the flight. He also has nearly a 150k chip lead over every player in the first four flights.

Milroy won a monster 375k chip pot late in the night which helped him earn the $3,500 Championship Event seat bonus as chip leader.

“I’ll try not to let it effect my play,” says Milroy of his chip count heading into Sunday’s Day 2.

Players have two more flights Saturday to take a shot at the $500,000 Guaranteed prize pool.  Flight E takes off at 11 am, while Flight F goes at 7 pm.

Currently 129 players have advanced from 477 entries; the average chip stack is 92k (46 bb)

River:

Lindo open shoves 96k and Milroy snap calls.

Lindo can’t believe his straight is rundown by a full house and he’s out after losing the 375k pot.

Milroy extends his chip lead by taking his mega stack to more than 400k (300+ bb). The huge pot also earns him our Seminole Hard Rock, Hard Play of the Day.
