Levels 10-12 Update
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Levels 10-12 in the WSOPc Cherokee Main Event were eventful as many players attempted to grow their stacks before the imminent end of registration. The tournament clock showed 685 entries as play in level 12 ended and when the break began. As break ended and registration closed 696 entries were showing, meaning that several players slid their way in at the last possible moment to get their shot at what will be a massive prizepool.
Some 261 players remain in Flight B, with three more 40 minutes to go and one 60-minute level after that (unless the field is trimmed to 16% before that).
Several prominent names are still alive in Flight B. Including Roland Israelashvili who was seen with a big stack of 174,000. Ari Engel eliminated an opponent at the very start of level 10 and then sent another to the rail at the very end of level 12 when his ace-six out flopped the ace-nine of his opponent when a six hit the flop.
Todd Millroy (270,000), Spencer Taylor (255,000) and Ryan D’Angelo (237,000) are a few of the bigger stacks in the room at the conclusion of level 12.

Dinner Break
Level 9
: 400/800, 800 ante
The Main Event has completed nine levels so far today and the players are getting ready to go on a 60-minute dinner break. The tournament clock currently reads a total of 641 entries with 405 players still remaining. Late registration will still remain open until the start of level 13 and a single re-entry option is optional.
Heading to the dinner break, Tyler Payne and Adam Jones are a couple of the notable players sitting at the top of the leaderboard. Payne had a big stack brewing on Day 1a but fell short in bagging by the end of the night. He will be looking to change that result today when he returns from dinner break.
Former NFL linebacker, Richard Seymour was seen leaving his seat just prior to the break. This is the first even Seymour has participated in so far at Cherokee and he will likely be hitting up the registration desk once more for his shot at a circuit ring.
When the players return to the felt at approximately 6:30 pm local time, the blinds will be increased to 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante. Follow along with PokerNews for tournament updates at each break until the internet issues are resolved.

Joshua Martin Captures Gold Ring in Just His Fifth-Ever Tournament
Level 8
: 300/600, 600 ante
The $1,700 Main Event is just one of a dozen gold ring events taking place at the Harrah’s Cherokee stop. For over a week, players have been competing for WSOP Circuit hardware and big chunks of prize money.
In Event #7: $400 No-Limit Hold’em, a tournament that drew a massive 1,667 entries and created a $550,110 prize pool, Joshua Martin of Yadkinville, North Carolina was playing in just his fifth-ever tournament when he came out on top to win $83,373 and his first gold ring.
It was an especially impressive victory considering Martin began the final table with the short stack of just 13 big blinds.
“I have only played in four tournaments before this,” he said. “I have to mention my boy Warren Sheaves that won the Global last year, he’s the one that really helped me put together my game plan and it worked.”
It was a one and done for Martin, who had to head back home after the win with no plans to return for the rest of the series.
