Lozano was halfway out of his seat with the smaller ace but sat right back down when he flopped a wheel on the board. Becker was left shaking his head and couldn’t find a chop on the turn or river to send a double across the table.

Fabio Lozano – 162,000 (32 bb)
Austin Becker – 41,000 (8 bb)

Event 3 on the SPS schedule was the second multi-flight tournament with a fantastic turnout. We had 825 entries in the $250 buy-in tournament to build a huge prize pool worth $169,125 with $29,585 up top.

Not a bad return on investment.

106 players return at 1 pm to begin the process of playing down to a winner. They are all in the money, guaranteed at least $360, but looking for the big money later in the evening.

Johnny Bromberg leads the return with Corey Zedo, Anthony Bertuccio, Pritpal Virdee, and Charles Kahrs rounding out the top five.

They will play the last 3:53 of Level 13 before blinds go up.

1. Johnny Bromberg – 601,000 (150 bb)
2. Corey Zedo – 575,000 (144 bb)
