Ari Engel (Seat 4) and Domenico Maurici (Seat 6)

Domenico Maurici was in a heads-up pot against Air Engel. The board was dealt through the turn and laid Jd4d3hTc. Domenico was out of position and shoved for 23,650. Eight time ring winner Engel went into the tank for a couple minutes before a tablemate called the clock. Engel found a call and turned over Js7c for top pair. Maurici held TsTh for a set and Engel was drawing dead.

The river completed with the 6h and Engel was left short stacked. Maurici, meanwhile, grew his holdings to an impressive roughly 61,500.

David Prociak

The first break in Flight A of the World Series of Poker Circuit Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Main Event is done and players are back in their seats. With the growing field, there’s a number of notables pulling up a chair in the prestigious tournament.

One of those notables is Seminole standout David Prociak. Prociak was the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year and that achievement catapulted him to some pretty big poker success. In addition to a slew of Seminole wins (including a $240 Omaha 8 win here in Coco), Prociak owns a gold bracelet. He’s yet to claim the ring, but is hopeful that comes here in the $1,000,000 guaranteed Main Event.

Darryll Fish

Fresh off a huge score and his first WPT title during Hollywood’s Lucky Hearts Poker Open, Darryll Fish is back on the tournament felt and jockeying for another payday. It was less than a month ago when Fish scored more than $500,000 in the aforementioned LHPO WPT Championship good for his first win on the tour and scoring him an entry in the upcoming Tournament of Champions.

Fish is a Florida native and it’s no surprise to see him back grinding here in Coconut Creek. He won this Main Event back when it was ran north in Palm Beach, but the Coconut Creek installment will be a tougher get with a bigger field and some of the country’s top talent flocking to one of the region’s premier properties.

Since getting cards in the air about an hour ago, the Flight A field has steadily grown. The clock now shows 174 entries in the action with registration and re-entry available until about 8:45pm. The magic number to crack the $1,000,000 guarantee is 667 entries and staff is hopeful by the time tomorrow nights comes and goes that figure is but a blip on the radar.

Main Event: Florida’s John Dolan Down Early

John Dolan

With more than $4,6000,000 in reported earnings, John Dolan is one of Florida’s most decorated tournament players. But Flight A of the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Main Event has been less than ideal thus far.

A recent hand saw a late position player raise to 225. Dolan three-bet the small blind to 675. Without hesitation, the late-position player shoved having Dolan covered. After a few moments, Dolan folded and was left with 11,500 — just about half starting stack.

Dolan is a past champion of this property, having won the Coco Poker Open Championship in 2014.
