Day 2 of Seminole Coconut Creek Main Event Kicks-Off at Noon
Day of the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Seminole Coconut Creek $1,700 Main Event kicks-off at noon with just 121 returning to battle it out for another ten levels of play. A total of 617 entry slips were sold during the first two starting flights which were less than expected as the guarantee was not met but the tournament will still be sporting a cool million-dollar prize pool.
George Dolohan will be seating down to the biggest overall stack with 423,000 and is followed closely by Neal Corcoran who has 419,000. Three other players to squeeze into the top five stacks are Terri-Anne Crawford (411,500), Day 1a chipleader Mihaly Lukacs (404,000), and Brett Feder (354,500).
The money bubble looms as 93 of the returning 121 will be grabbing a piece of the prize pool. Starting the day this close to the money might make for some conservative play, but judging by the first two flights the tournament should retain the action-filled play that has been up to this point. A min-cash will be paying $2,728, but all eyes will be on the $188,158 first-place prize that the eventual champion will be taking home, along with a shiny new gold ring.
Play will begin at 12 p.m. local time, blinds will start on level 16 and will be 2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante. The plan is to play a total of ten 60-minute levels and there will be a 10-minute break between every two. A 60-minute dinner break will take place at the end of level 21 and all remaining by nights end will bag up for the final day.
