$1,650 Purple Chip Bounty NLH (Single Re-Entry) Level 17: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 12 of 139 5z4nc

The $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty event drew the exact same number of entrants as last year and once again we have a stacked field returning for Day 2.

Jordan Meltzer won the final event of the 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open and is back with a good chance for another title. He returns with the chip lead but some tough players trying to chase him down including recent PokerStars Championship Bahamas Main Event champ Christian Harder and WSOP Circuit winner TK Miles.

The stacks are deep and the structure is slow, these 12 players will be able to showcase their talent all the way through until we crown the champion later this evening.
