Level 13 got underway in the Main Event and registration closed on Flight A. The first session drew 353 entries to put the field more than halfway towards the $1,000,000 Guarantee with a huge Saturday Flight B expected.

Mark Dube was among the leaders after the final break of the day and he stormed further ahead. We caught up with him in a hand with the board reading and he raised his opponent all in after a 14,000 bet. His opponent thought for a few minutes and called all in for ~40,000.

Jessica Dawley was a late entrant into Day 1A of the Main Event this evening and is always a popular friend walking through the field. She says hi to everyone and ran into a fellow WSOP champ.

Loni Harwood, a two-time WSOP bracelet winner, stopped by Dawley’s table to say howdy and the two caught up with each other. Dawley picked up her first bracelet this past summer when she won the 2018 WSOP Ladies Championship.

Kammar Andries is not a professional poker player. He doesn’t even consider himself an amateur player.

“I don’t play enough to be even an amateur,” Andries joked earlier in the week.

He made that comment after winning his second career WSOP Circuit ring in the $400 Double Stack Turbo.

That was validation that his first ring wasn’t a fluke when he outlasted 827 entries to win last year’s Coco WSOP Circuit Main Event.

A physical therapist by trade, Andries makes special plans to come to Coconut Creek anytime we have a big series. The defending champion is in the field today and going for number three.

The Main Event field continues to build in The Pavilion and pro Sheddy Siddiqui is grinding away in the back of the room. The South Florida favorite has plenty of huge results and he came close to winning a major title right here in September.

He made the final table of the Coco WSOP Circuit Main Event in September and cruised his way to a $137,298 cash for second place.

“Shedrock” is back with us this afternoon and looking to advance to Day 2 on Sunday.

Martin Ryan has been one of the most staunch supporters of the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek WSOP Circuit since the property first hosted the tour one year ago. Ryan won the first-ever ring event here and at the time it was good for his fifth. He went to score four more around the country since then.

After coming to Coconut Creek today as part of the $3,250 High Roller Day 2 restart, Martin Ryan hit the rail shy of the money. Never one to shy away from a registration line, Ryan immediately got in Flight A of the Main Event and is part of an ever-growing field in the $1,000,000 finale.
