Day 2 chip counts through Flight C:

Level 3: 75/150 with a 25 ante
Flight D Entries: 55

We continue to see a nice pace of new players jumping in the game as we get closer to the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.

John Dolan will have to fire another bullet if he wants to add another title to his credit. He was an early entrant and early exit in the second level but he can run another one up.

Dolan is known to most as a member of the 2010 WSOP Main Event November Nine, where he took home $1.77 million for sixth place, but that is not his only big score. Three of his top five cashes came in SHRP tournaments with a fourth place in the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship ($549K), runner-up in the 2012 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship ($459K), and a title in the 2014 Coco Poker Open Championship ($220K).

Level 2: 50/100
Flight D Entries: 40

It was slow progress over the first level of Flight D but we’re seeing an influx of players in the second level including local favorite Manny Minaya.

He’s sitting at a fun little table with Hebert Woodbery and Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah to his left. But Minaya can probably handle those two with his experience. He has nearly $1.7 million career earnings that include a Borgata win for $222,000 and a WSOP Circuit Main Event runner-up in Tunica. Minaya’s second career cash was only a fourth place finish in a WSOP Omaha/8 tournament in 2005.

Level 1: 25/50

Event 7 has locked down three flights in the $200,000 Guarantee tournament with three more yet to go. Flight D will round out the Friday night action as we go head-first into the weekend.

The first three flights combined to put 232 entries in the event and put them more than halfway towards the money goal. We’ll have another good addition this evening then pile it up on Saturday.

Players will sit down to 20,000 starting stacks and levels will run 30 minutes a pop. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 10:30pm and they can re-enter as often as needed during that time. Flight D will continue at the point until the end of Level 14 when all survivors will bag up their chips for a return on Sunday.

After a busy day in the poker room yesterday, with three new WPO trophies awarded, today was more laid back with two flights of the $570 buy-in/$200,000 Guarantee Event 7.

Both flights hit the exact same number of entries, 76 in each, to put a total of 152 into the tournament with four more flights to run. Those numbers put us on an easy pace to hit the guaranteed money with the weekend grinders ready to hit the felt.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah (pictured above) seemed like he was ready to put a bag together but he crashed out late when his AJ was four-flushed by KJ.

Tom Nguyen led the latter parts of the day but most of his stack ended up in front of Jerry Silva. The Tampa regular put an incredible 473,000 away for Day 2, nearly double second place Nicholas Williams. Also advancing were Karl Manouchakian, Marvin “Flying Duckman” Karlins, Mark “Bud” Wider, Stevie Tziris, and the aforementioned Nguyen.

Tomorrow brings the next two flights, the first at 11am and the second at 6pm, and we’ll cross into six-digit prize pool territory before they are done.

There will also be one last satellite into Event 7 that will run at 2pm. The $75 buy-in satellite has five seats guaranteed into the $200,000 Guarantee event with 1-in-10 grabbing one.

Day 2 chip counts through Flight B:

$570 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
End of Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 12 of 76

Play has come to an end for Flight B with only 12 players advancing to Day 2 on Sunday. Tom Nguyen was the leader late until he tangled with Jerry Silva, sending most of his stack across the table.

Nguyen was able to pull back another 57,000 on the last hand of the night with a set of sixes over Silva’s set of threes but Silva retained the lead with more than 473,000 going into the bag.

Full chip counts will be posted when they are available.

Players have reached the ten-minute mark of Level 14 and tournament staff announced two more hands before bagging up.

Tom Nguyen was well over 200,000 after the last break but those chips did not stick around long. They are now sitting in front of Jerry Silva with a huge lead of his own.
