Players Remaining: 60 of 318

The Event 1 field dropped an entire table before the first post-dinner break was complete and they’ll now transform into nine-handed play till the end.

Elliot Bradley is making a late move and moved over 110,000 in back-to-back hands. The first was the biggest when he opened from the cutoff and faced a 14,300 shove from the button. He called, tabled and his opponent slow-peeled for the race.

A race that was shut down in a hurry after Bradley flopped a full house on the board. The button was drawing thin to running cards then picked up four outs on the turn. Any ace or seven would give him the bigger boat but the river was a blank to send the pot to Bradley.

Level 13: 800/1,600 with a 200 ante
Players Remaining: 70 of 318

Event 1 players returned from their hour-long dinner break and are ready to grind down to a winner. They broke a table before the restart and there were exactly 70 players remaining when cards went back in the air.

Everyone is chasing George Eugene Navarro at the top of the counts and his 134,300 is the clear big stack as the field crawls lower. We also found Phil Hui, Jeff Kessler, Justin Harvel, Nancy Thomas, Stuart Paterson, and David Moreno among those still alive for the WSOP Circuit ring later this evening.

The first-ever World Series of Poker Circuit began at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek earlier today with a stout field of 318 entries in the $365 kickoff. That strong turnout has players and staff alike excited for the opening weekend headliner, tomorrow’s $365 buy-in$300,000 guarantee.

The first of four starting flights begins at 11am and is followed by the evening flight at 4pm. Saturday’s play follows the same schedule and those fortunate enough to advance return for Day 2 Sunday at 12pm.

Here are the details:

11AM/4PM: Event 2 Day 1A/B/C/D – $365 No Limit Hold’e (Re-Entry)

• $300,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
• Players begin with 10,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
• Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 9
• Day 1 will end after Level 18 or 12% remaining
• Event 2 Structure Sheet

With $300,000 guaranteed, the combined field has to crack the 1,000 mark just to make the target. If today’s fast start is any indication, that figure should be no problem at all.

Bryce McVay and Gil Aboodi are regulars at any major Seminole series. McVay resides on the west side of the state in Tampa while Aboodi is local to Hollywood. The pair each owns a victory at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and in Hollywood.

Aboodi most recently laid claim to a guitar trophy during Tampa’s Winter Poker Open, scoring more than $71,000 following a four-way chop in the $570. McVay, meanwhile, scored his most recent win in June of 2017 also in Tampa. It was during the property’s WPTDeepStacks series that he took first in a $250 Turbo for more than $12,000.

McVay and Aboodi are both in attendance today in the WSOP Circuit opener, and they hope to add a third Seminole property to their list of title locations in this one-day ring event.
