Chris Tryba’s chip-leading stack at first break

Tampa first-timer Chris Tryba is receiving a warm welcome to the Seminole Hard Rock felt. This marks his maiden voyage to the property and he’s been quite complimentary of the space since getting on site for kickoff. His nice demeanor has paid off as he found a way to turn his 30,000 starting into nearly 90,000 good for a triple up through the first few levels of play.

The day’s first break just wrapped and Tryba is among a growing field of notables that includes Herbert Woodberry, Justin Zaki, Bryce McVay, Peter Vitantonio, Ryan Van Sanford and others.
