Event 1 Flight A: Genevieve Breeze Sends Two Out

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry
$500,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 7: 300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight A Entries: 411

Genevieve Breeze

The field is turning over at a brisk rate and the entry count was pushed over 400 with late registration available until 5:45pm.

Genevieve Breeze is another visitor from the great Northeast and making the most of her time down here. She was already well above starting stack when two opponents were all-in for 5,700 each and she had them covered and dominated.

Her AdJc was ahead of As4s and Ac5c but the KcKs8h gave her a chop sweat. The board finished with the Th turn and 9h river to send two players out and push her stack to 37,900.

Event 1 Flight A: Frankie Flowers Building

Level 6: 200/400 with a 400 ante
Flight A Entries: 375

Frankie Flowers

The Flight A entry count is nearing 400 after six levels and we have a new name topping the counts. SHRP favorite (and 2016 Poker Showdown trophy winner) Frankie Flowers is back in South Florida for the series and starting off hot.

He had only 6,000 at the first break but went on a massive heater to stack up to 92,000 in only 30 minutes.

Event 1 Flight A: Anthony Cuffari Leads

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry
$500,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 5: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight A Entries: 358

Anthony Cuffari

Cards are back in the air after the first break and we have our early frontrunner. Northeast grinder Anthony Cuffari came down to the Sunshine State for some Ultimate Re-Entry action and he ran his 15,000 starting stack over 80,000 in four levels.

Cuffari has several tournament wins in the colder climates, including a Borgata Saturday Series win in October, but he is down here looking for his first SHRP cash.

Event 2: Big Early Field

$360 Limit Omaha 8 (Re-Entry)
Structure
Level 3: 100/200
Entries: 54

Brian Gelrod

We have a great turnout so far in our first non-hold’em game with 54 entries in the game after the first hour. They are on their way to topping the 78 this game attracted last year and we are waiting to see if defending champ Michael Moed returns.

SHRP regular Brian Gelrod was an early entrant into the four-card game and this is one of his favorite formats. He has more than a dozen final tables to his credit with seven of them coming in Omaha/8 games.

Event 1 Flight A: 300 Entries and Counting

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry
$500,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 4: 100/200 with a 200 ante
Flight A Entries: 319

Sheddy Siddiqui

We are almost through two hours of play in the Ultimate Re-Entry event and the entry count cruised over 300 before the first break. With late registration open until 5:45pm, there’s plenty of time for players to get down to the Event Center.

We have a lot of talent here early on the first day including SHRP favorites Sheddy Siddiqui, Jason Young, and Mark Dube (who won back-to-back 2018 SHRPO events in August).

TD Tony Burns kicks off the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open

Event 1 Flight A: Kicking off Lucky Hearts Poker Open

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry
$500,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 100/100

The new year is here and we are kicking off our first big series of 2019 with the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open. It features 25 great events over the next 13 days and we are going big right out of the gates.

Event 1 is the return of the popular Ultimate Re-Entry tournament that will attract thousands of players and create a huge prize pool. The tournament has a $360 buy-in with a $500,000 Guarantee and eight starting flights. In addition to the standard payouts, players also have a chance to bank some money if they survive more than one flight.

Unlike most tournaments, players may enter as many of the eight flights as they wish. If they advance more than one stack for Day 2 on Monday, they will play their biggest bag and we will pay them $2,500 for every other one that makes it through.

Flight A starts at 11am in the Event Center and each player will sit down to a 15,000 starting stack. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available later than normal as well, this time registration will close at the start of Level 13 at 5:45pm.

All starting flights will also play down to the money. Each flight will end when 10% of the starting field remains, rounding down, and all of them will return for Day 2 already set to go to the payout desk.

This is a great way to start the series and we expect one of the biggest fields in Florida poker history by the time registration closes late Sunday evening.
