The opening flights are complete and Event 1 of the Tampa Poker Classic is set to return today for Day 2. The tournament drew a fantastic 1,128 entries to crush the $200,000 Guarantee. They combined to put $338,400 up for grabs and the first order of business today will be bursting the money bubble.
With 179 players coming back and 113 getting paid, it will not take long to get there.
Tampa regular Alex Ivan held the overall chip lead with one more flight to go but he was caught by Tom Doane and Sean Hampson, the only two players coming back with more than 500K.
Other notables include Wally Maddah, Karl Manouchakian, Manny Minaya, Hamid Izadi, and Cheri Beatty along with Marvin “The Duckman” Kharlins sitting in fifth coming back.
