$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 15: Blinds 2k/4k/500 ante (27 minutes remain)
135 players have made the cut and advanced to Day 2. Average stack is 98k.
Only 110 will get paid, so 25 will leave empty handed.
Cards are in the air as a few late arrivals are still unbagging and stacking their chips.
June Poker Room Promotion
The Poker Room has been jumping in June thanks to the latest High Hand promotion.
A casual game of $2-$4 Limit Hold’em or a more serious higher stakes game can earn you a $3,500 seat into the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Summer Poker Open Championship. And the promotion has the potential of going around the clock.
Each hour, beginning at noon, one High Hand seat will be awarded until 8 seats a day have been given out.
On Sunday June, 1st the final seat was won at 9 am Monday morning.
Earlier this week at a $1-$2 NL table, Don Dotzler (Orlando, FL) won his ticket and he’s looking forward to playing in the $1 Million Guaranteed Championship Event (June 12-18).
“It’ll be interesting, I never played a tournament before,” said Dotzler, moments after his 8-high straight flush earned him the seat.
The promotion runs through June 10th and you can see the full details here.
Each High Hand winner has the option of taking $300 cash, meaning the Championship Event seats are still up for grabs late into the night and early the next morning.
$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$500,000 Guaranteed
Level 2: Blinds 50/100
Late registration and re-entry are available for this event until the start of level 7 (about3:30pm). Players who bust out may choose to re-enter as many times as they like until registration closes.
Once registration closes for this flight, players can still register for any subsequent flights. Here’s the schedule:
Flight A – now
Flight B – 7pm
Flight C – 11am Friday
Flight D – 7pm Friday
Flight E – 11am Saturday
Flight F – 7pm Saturday
If a player plays more than one flight and bags chips more than once, they will take their best stack into Day 2 (no combining).
$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$500,000 Guaranteed
Level 1: Blinds 25/50
In case a half-million dollar prize pool isn’t enough of an incentive, we’ve got more.
The chip leader at the end of each of the six starting flights will receive a $3,500 seat in the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Summer Poker Open Championship Event (June 12-18).
The eventual winner will also receive a $3,500 seat in the Championship Event. If it happens to be a player who already has a seat, they can cash the second seat in if they bag chips on their first day of the Championship. Of course if they bust out, they can fire their second bullet on the next starting day.
And if that’s not enough, there’s also the signature Hard Rock trophy guitar!
$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$500,000 Guaranteed
Level 1: Blinds 25/50
The first of six starting flights has begun for the half-million guaranteed $560 Deep Stack event. The beautiful Rockin’ Pool is just outside our tournament area and provides a great place to chill during breaks.
Players began with 25,000 chips and Day 1 levels are 40 minutes long.
They’ll play 12 levels (no dinner break) before bagging up for the night (about 8pm).

After returning from break, Jacqueline Patman (Covington, GA) doesn’t mess around and quickly jumps into contention for the chip lead and the end of night bonus, a $1,100 seat into Event 9.
Patman is part of a three-way all in with AK against A8 and QT.
Patman flops an Ace and adds 45k from the two shorter stacks. She’s now up to 150k and is only 15k behind Manny Minaya who’s the current chip leader.
The hand gives Patman some momentum and our Hard Rock, Hard Play of the Day.
