As we move deeper into the afternoon, more players are in seats. Day 1C is up to 153 entries for 393 total and a prize pool of nearly $600,000.

Tom McDonald and Peter Hsu are in the field, trying for another big score. McDonald went deep in two tournaments during the 2022 Tampa Poker Classic; he finished runner-up out of 1,463 in the opening $400 Deep Stack and closed the series with a third place in the Championship.

On top of that, he finished 14th in the WSOP Super Seniors and 41st in our WPT Tampa Championship a few months ago.

Hsu’s score was a little more recent, two weeks ago in Hollywood, when he turned one bullet in their huge RRPO $400 opening event into a $191K when he won the title in the 6,134-entry field.
