Event 5: Last Chance for a Trophy

$250 Turbo No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$20,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 1: 25/50

The 2018 WPTDeepStacks Tampa series is almost complete and time is running out to walk away with a title. The Main Event will be playing down in the front part of the poker room while the last tournament on the schedule kicks off in the back.

Event 5 is a $250 buy-in turbo tournament with a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool and structure meant to induce action. It is a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon if you missed out on going deep in the Main Event.

Players will sit down to 25,000 starting stacks and all levels last 15 minutes a pop. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 13 around 5:30pm. They will continue from that point until they reach the money bubble, the final table, and the last champion of the series.

Action kicks off at 2pm and we’ll bring you the milestones and highlights along the way.

  • $20,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
  • Players begin with 25,000 in chips and 15-minute levels
  • Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 13
  • This is a one-day tournament and plays until completion

Main Event: Tough Chop for Michael Newman

$1,100 WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event
$300,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 18: 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 87 of 620

Michael Newman

Michael Newman is chasing Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year points but they are not making it easy on him.

Newman was in the cutoff and called an all in shove by William Burdick in the hijack for 31,000.

Newman: 8h8d
Burdick: AsQc

Newman was ahead in the race and stormed further out front on the Th8s7s flop. His set was looking good and Burdick stood up from his seat.

Then he sat back down as the board finished with the 6d turn and 9s river to put a straight on the board for a chopped pot.

Michael Newman – 93,000 (19 bb)
William Burdick – 37,000 (7 bb)

Main Event: Anthony Do Eliminated by Mark Wiser

$300,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 17: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 93 of 620

Anthony Do

Mark “Bud” Wiser opened to 11,000 from middle position and Anthony Do three-bet shoved for 59,500 from the cutoff. The button and blinds released and Wiser called with the bigger stack.

Wiser: QhQs
Do: AcTs

Do was in rough shape with the single over card and couldn’t catch the Kd9h8d3d7s board to exit short of the money.

Mark “Bud” Wiser – 240,000 (60 bb)
Anthony Do – Eliminated

Main Event: Past Champs

Rex Clinkscales

The action to start Day 2 has been much slower than expected. Only 19 players hit the rail in the first level back which is not the norm but they will pick it up before the money bubble.

Both former WPTDeepStacks Tampa champs are grinding away; 2016 winner Anthony Astarita in the middle of the room and 2017 winner Rex Clinkscales in the back.

Julio Marrero returns to Day 2 with the Main Event chip lead

They have played three starting flight in the 2018 WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event and now is the time for everyone still in the game to join as one in the poker room. The tournament drew 620 entries and 129 players return today trying to make it down to the final table.

Julio Marrero returns with the chip lead but Corey Lipke is not far behind. There are some very talented players still in the field including both previous WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event champs. Anthony Astarita (2016) and Rex Clinkscales (2017) bagged up chips and will return today.

Michael Cohen finished second to Clinkscales last year and he comes back to a top ten stack while Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year challenger Michael Newman will have some work to do with his shorter stack.

The top 78 spots will get paid and we will see the money bubble approach around the time of the first break. Today’s schedule has the field playing down to the final table nine and they return tomorrow to play it out.

Cards go back in the air at noon and we will have all the action from start to finish.

Top ten returning stacks:

  1. Julio Marrero – 338,500 (113 bb)
  2. Corey Lipke – 333,000 (111 bb)
  3. Zhou Li – 320,000 (107 bb)
  4. Brandon Byars – 313,000 (104 bb)
  5. Dino Patsourakis – 307,000 (102 bb)
  6. Joseph Skarzynski – 297,000 (99 bb)
  7. Michael Cohen – 295,000 (98 bb)
  8. Robert Goudy – 257,000 (86 bb)
  9. Jonathan Toth – 230,000 (77 bb)
  10. Nicholas Carter – 219,000 (73 bb)

Main Event Day 1C: Joseph Skarzynski Bags the Flight Lead

$1,100 WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event
$300,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 15: 1,200/1,600 with a 200 ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 63 of 275

Joseph Skarzynski

With Level 15 coming to an end, it looked Joseph Skarzynski would take the overall lead with nearly 400,000. But he lost a few pots and dropped 297,000; still good enough for the end-of-flight lead among the 63 survivors and only a bit higher than Michael Cohen’s 295,000.

We will have all the official chip counts and seat assignments as soon as they are available.
