With 171 entries midway through Level 3, the prize pool in tonight’s $130 deep stack is just over halfway to its $30,000 guarantee. Doing his part to help juice the kiddie is South Florida regular Ory Hen. Hen, the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year, went bust early, promptly re-entered and has already been spotted active in a handful of pots. He’s among the notables shaking things up during the early stages of play.
