End of Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante
Flight F Players Remaining: 24 of 125

Play has come to an end in the final opening flight of Event 7. Only 24 advanced from this evening’s run to bring the final Day 2 count to 113 and more than half of them will make the money.

David Prociak was indeed the end-of-flight leader and put a very nice 260,000 away for tomorrow, good enough for a fourth place returning stack.

They’ll return tomorrow at noon for the restart. Complete chips counts and seat assignments will be posted when they are available.

As the clock is ticking down, players are taking bigger shots trying to run up a stack. Len Nhoung was under a starting stack when she three-bet shoved with and Manny Minaya called with .

Nhoung was in trouble and drawing dead when Minaya turned the case queen.

On Table 44, it looks like reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year David Prociak is in position to end the evening with the biggest stack. He quietly ran his stack up to 250,000 in the last two levels and will probably have the biggest bag from the night.

Rob Manjura continues to build his stack higher and he ran a hand against Pot Limit Omaha final table member Len Nhoung as Level 13 was coming to an end.

Nhoung limped before the flop and she was heads up with Manjura, calling bets after the turn and river. After the final bet was called, Manjura tabled to take another pot and move over 165,000. Nhoung needs to make a move with less than 30,000 and 30 minutes remaining in the day.

End of Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 ante
Flight F Players Remaining: 35 of 125

Flight F players are on their last break of the day with 35 remaining and it looks like the chip lead has changed again.

While we were preparing the previous post, Rob Manjura chipped up the table reports that it was Manjura’s set besting aces to put him up to 147,000.

Four tables remain in Flight F with three more levels to play. Daniel Ramirez continues to climb the leaderboard and is among the top stacks in the room with 145,000.

At our front table, Brandon Byars and Event 1 winner Rob Manjura were battling it out after Byars called a flop bet with the board reading . Manjura moved all-in for 31,900 after the turn and Byars began his deep thoughts.

After cutting out the calling chips, he talked it through with/at Manjura before eventually folding his big slick face up. Manjura was kind enough to show  pocket nines and Byars saved himself some chips. Both are in no danger at the moment with Byars holding 104,000 and Manjura 82,000.

Flight F is down to only five tables remaining with some tough players still around. Brandon Byars, Rob Manjura, Patrick Eskandar, Manny Minaya, and Seminole Hard Rock team member John Racener have chips in the game but everyone is chasing Aric Pluskat.

The former WSOP Circuit runner-up has pushed his stack over 150,000 with a few more hours left in the day. Daniel Ramirez is sitting at his table and his 130,000 stack is nothing to dismiss either.

Flight F is in the final level with open registration for Event 7 and we expect to see the number run up a bit more before closing in less than 30 minutes.

Brandon Byars is the early leader in the big field after running his 20,000 starting stack over 100,000 in the first few hours. After a rough run the last few days, Byars could do with some run-good.

The 2016 Winter Poker Open welcomed Seminole Hard Rock Tampa team member John Racener to the series this evening. He’s making his first appearance of the series as the Event 7 continues to climb higher.

Racener is best known for a runner-up finish in the 2010 WSOP Main Event but the Florida pro already owned a WSOP Circuit Main Event win before that summer. He’s looking to join a fellow 2010 WSOP November Niner in Day 2 after John Dolan bagged up yesterday.
