$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 14: 1,200/2,400/400 Ante

Tournament staff paused the clock with 10 minutes remaining and announced three more hands before bagging up.

As they completed those hands, it was obvious that Jorman Cano and Thao Le would be the end of Day 1A leaders with each over 300,000. Le picked up most of his late chips against Eric Brewster.

It was a three-way pot when the hijack moved all-in with a short stack and Brewster fatted on the button with two aces after a short think. Le was in the big blind, plus the only one who had Brewster covered at the table, when he moved all-in over the top with jacks.

The king-high flop was harmless but the former leader Brewster was sent to flight 1B when a jack hit the turn.

The hand pushed Le over 300,000 and he will be among the leaders when they return on Sunday for Day 2. The first flight has 61 players surviving the day with a chance at the first Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open title.

Jorman Cano – 346,000 (144 bb)
Thao Le – 316,000 (132 bb)
Antonio Albanes – 240,500 (100 bb)
Eric Riley – 200,500 (84 bb)
Robert Aron – 185,000 (77 bb)
