Newly minted South Florida resident Athanasios Polychronopoulos is one of the freshest entries in the $400 opener. Polychronopoulos is a two-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner and the most decorated pro in the field with more than $2,000,000 in reported earnings.

Polychronopolous has already enjoyed some decent success on the WSOP Circuit having finished runner-up in the 2014 WSOP National Championship.

Polychronopolous let staff know he’ll be here throughout the work, and he hopes to capture some rungood to earn his way back in the season-ending Global Casino Championship again.

Reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Brett Bader is a regular here in Coconut Creek and as such wasn’t one to miss a shot at a gold ring opportunity on his him turf. Last year, Bader put a hurt on the Coconut Creek, Hollywood and Tampa Championships ultimately going down as the tour’s POY. He earned entry in all of this years’ Championship as well as a slew of comp dollars to use at the properties.

Bader is out of pocket for this $400 opener, but that’s a modest investment for the traveling pro with more than $1,000,000 in earnings.

The SHRP POY race encompasses all major Championships and runs through August’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. This year’s contest is currently lead by Sheddy Siddiqui.

First break in the $400 buy-in one-day opener concluded just a few moments ago. The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek kickoff event is off to a strong start with a stout field that includes recent Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood final tablists Jason Young and Nick Yunis.

Young and Yunis faced off against eachother last month in Hollywood’s WPTDeepStacks Lucky Hearts Poker Open Main Event. Yunis narrowly missed the live-streamed action, finishing 10th, while Young went on to card the victory and a $263,205 score.

The pair is back at it today sharing Table 16 here in the Coconut Creek opener.

The World Series of Poker Circuit at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek opening Event 1 marks players’ first opportunity to earn points toward the Casino Championship.

The Casino Championship race and the title of Casino Champion go to the player that accumulates the most points via in-the-money finishes in eligible gold ring events. Following the conclusion of the series, the player that owns the most points will go down as the Casino Championship and earn a free $10,000 entry in the Global Casino Championship. One additional $10,000 entry in that event is reserved for the Coconut Creek Main Event champion.

More details on the race are available on WSOP.com.

Level 2: 50/100
Entries: 103

The field has more than doubled since Event 1 began less than 45 minutes ago. With the clock now showing more than 100 entries in the action, the event’s $50,000 guarantee is a blip on the prize pool radar. That figure should be eclipsed around first break and the count will continue to climb until registration closes after dinner.

A quick walk through the tournament floor shows a number of notables, but perhaps none more notable than Martin Ryan. Ryan is the defending champion of this event having bested 318 entries 12 months ago earning ring number five and $22,416 in the process. In the time since, Ryan’s heater accumulated him four more rings and he now sits third on the all-time list with nine.
