December 1, 2021
We kicked off the 2021 Tampa Winter Poker Open with a great turnout for the opening tournament. Event 1 was a $300 buy-in tournament with a $50,000 guarantee that was nearly doubled as the 398 entries push the prize pool reached $99.500. Jimmy Sanchez cruised and took the win along with $12,244 in a seven-way deal
The tournament played into the evening and the eventual final table. After tough players Fernando Rodriguez and Brandon Byars were eliminated, the last seven players reached a deal to divide up the remaining prize pool with Sanchez getting the win, the cash, and the WPO trophy.
Thanks for a great start to the series!
