The $400 buy-in, $50,000 guarantee field continues to grow here in Level 11. With now 259 registered for the action, a new batch of notables is emerging. One such player is WSOP gold bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton.

Hilton burst onto the poker scene in 2013 winning the WSOP National Championship in New Orleans. That performance was good for a $355,559 win and a gold bracelet. In the time since, he’s carded dozens more cashes and ultimately claims more than $1,500,000 in tournament earnings.

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.

Level 2: 50/100

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.
