Event 1 Day 1A – $130 No Limit Hold’em
Beginning of Level 10: 800/1,600/200 Ante
Level 10 is underway and registration is officially closed in the first of six starting flights in Event 1 of the Coco Poker Showdown. The clock reads an unofficial 116 entries. We will look to verify that number with tournament staff and provide the official attendance figure shortly thereafter.

Beginning of Level 7: 400/800/100 Ante
Cards are in the air following the first break with the clock showing 103 players entered. Registration remains open until the start of Level 10 — until about 2:15 p.m. ET — and the final attendance figure for the opening flight will be posted shortly thereafter.
Joe Patalano has busted and re-entered while Richard Davis is still alive and kicking.
The 2016 Coco Poker Showdown is comprised of nine numbered events boasting combined guarantees of more than $500,000. The series headliners are Event 1, Event 6 and the $1,100 Main Event. These three tournaments alone account for $450,000 in guarantees.

Event 1 Day 1A – $130 No Limit Hold’em
Level 5: 200/400/50 Ante
With nearly 90 players entered through the first four levels, Event 1 of the 2016 Coco Poker Showdown is looking like it will yield a sizable field. While the $130 buy in is low enough to entice novices, the $100,000 guarantee generates some interest among more experienced players as well. Joe Patalano and Richard Davis are among the notables entered thus far.
Both are regulars in the South Florida poker scene. Patalano owns 53 career cashes totaling more than $160,000 while Davis has some solid results of his own including a final table in a WSOP Circuit event at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.
Both players are hoping to beef up their resumes over the next 11 days here in Coconut Creek.
Event 1 Day 1A – $130 No Limit Hold’em
Level 1: 50/100
The clock strikes 11 a.m. and cards are in the air for the first of nine numbered events in the 2016 Coco Poker Showdown. At the $130 price point, Event 1 boasts a $100,000 guarantee. The no limit hold’em tournament permits unlimited re-entry and late registration until the start of Level 10. The first two of the tournament’s six starting flights take place today — Flight A is underway now and Flight B kicks off at 6 p.m.
Players are permitted to play all starting flights and those who advance to Day 2 more than once receive a min-cash (paid out Saturday) for every time they bag after their first.
The kickoff event is the first of three headliners on the Showdown schedule. The others, a $250,000 guaranteed $350 no limit hold’em tournament and the $100,000 guaranteed $1,100 Main Event, begin next week.
