In November of last year, Andres "Andy" Risquez won the $86 buy-in Moneymaker PSPC Tour here Seminole Hard Rock for $25,427 and a coveted Platinum Pass. Making it even more incredible was that he defeated none other than Chris Moneymaker in heads-up play out of the 957-entry field to win the title for $14,000 cash plus the $30K Platinum Pass.
Risquez, a local player, has returned to the Seminole Hard Rock and is looking to nab his second Platinum Pass. If he plays his cards right, there could even be a rematch against Moneymaker, who bagged the Day 1a chip lead yesterday over at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
We'll be sure to keep an eye on Risquez as he looks to navigate today's field.

We saw a commotion over at Table 7 and made our way over to discover that action had exploded on a flop that resulted in a four-way all-in pot.
Matt Zarcadoolas:
Mario Jimenez:
Opponent #1:
Opponent #2:
It was a big flop for all four players. Two of them had open-ended straight draws, Jimenez top pair with top kicker, but it was Matt Zarcadoolas out in front with top two pair.
The turn was of no consequence but the river was as Jimenez spiked a bigger two pair to steal the pot away from Zarcadoolas.
