Get to Know Fernando Halac
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Fernando Halac, who is in action today, is a grinder. With more than $250k in lifetime earnings, he is no stranger to poker Florida. Back in 2014, he finished 53rd in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open (SHRPO) Main Event for $29,933, and in October of last year, he placed fourth in the 2018 Isle Open Pompano Beach Event #3: $200 NLH for $13,241.
However, his biggest cash came back in 2013 when he finished ninth in the World Series of Poker Seniors Championship for $52,474. Other highlights on his poker résumé include third in the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamon World Poker Classic $1,000 NLH for $20,000, $18,770 for finishing third in a 2011 Borgata Poker Open $560 side event, and taking second in a Bellagio Weekly $1k tournament for $15,280.
We’ll be keeping an eye on Halac here on Day 1b to see if he can add to his long list of poker cashes.

May Deep Stack Flashback: Steve McKoy Adds to Seminole Résumé
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Back in 2016, this very event attracted 1,075 entries, which meant a $322,500 prize pool more than doubled the guarantee. Steve McKoy emerged victorious in the tournament for $49,755 after a four-way deal.
Also getting a piece of it, $39,200 to be exact, was Ronald Compillo, who won the $350 Escalator Series earlier in the year. Compillo officially finished as runner-up while Michael Merisier and Jacob Snider took third and fourth for $35,750 and $35,710, respectively.
McKoey, who was 29 at the time, added to his Hard Rock résumé, which included wins at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and here at the Seminole Hard Rock.
Among those to finish in the money were 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen (23rd), Lou Stadler (29th), Jessica Dawley (42nd) , Darryl Fish (86th), Zoltan Czinkota (87th) and Evan Teitelbaum (89th).
