Players Braving Valentine's Day

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Despite Thursday being Valentine's Day, plenty of players have skipped the dinner and flowers for chips and a chair. HPT regulars Ed Sebesta, Ossama Estafanous and Nick Pupillo have all joined the field.

HPT on the High Seas winner Marty Gorenc looks to make back-to-back runs after trading in his board shorts for snow boots. Mike Englert took down the HPT Black Hawk main event in February for a touch of over $200,000. He has four previous HPT cashes at the property with three final tables.

Elbow Room...for Now

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The poker parlor in the Golden Gates casino is intimate, with 17 tables spread across the room. For now, just five tables are in action with a few empty seats for new players. For the start, tables are ten-handed in preparation for Saturday's large Day 1C field but players have plenty of elbow room for the time being.

HPT Black Hawk Main Event Kicks off Day 1A

The Heartland Poker Tour kicked off Season XV at Ameristar East Chicago and then headed out for HPT on the High Seas for a Caribbean cruise event. Now the tour returns to the Golden Gates Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado where they've booked several million dollar prize pool events. Wendy Freedman took down the previous HPT event in September for $167,696.

Day 1A is scheduled for 15, 40-minute levels of action before players bag and tag for Sunday's Day 2. Registration remains open until the start of Level 10, with players allowed to fire as many bullets as needed.

There are 31 entrants on the tournament clock for the start of play and cards are in the air.
