The one week mark of the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Spring Poker Open is in the books and Day 7 was all about satellites into the Spring Poker Open Main Event.
There were no titles given away today and no first place money awarded, but instead there were three $200 multi-table satellites with five seats to the main event guaranteed.
The first of the three got underway at 11 am and drew 54 players. The top five players received seats and the sixth place finisher received $660. Daniel Tirrell, David Lawrence, Oak Haselton, Ben Thompson, and Tim Silman were the five lucky players to earn a spot in the $1,650 No Limit Hold’em Main Event with a $300,000 guaranteed prizepool.
As expected, there was a steady increase in the field size as the day went along. The second satellite started at 4 pm and that drew 86 players. Eight players earned a seat and the ninth place finisher earned $990.
