Flight D: $350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 3: 75/150/25 Ante
Entries: 87

Event 1 winner Claudemir Osorio and Event 1 final tablist Mark Smith each delayed the chop in their event in their own way. For Osorio, it was the potential for a better deal that made him hold out. For Smith, he simply had to go move his car and was absent from the table for about 30 minutes. In the end, six players went home with $36,620 each while chip leader Osorio pocketed the $1,100 Main Event seat and guitar trophy.

Once again, Osorio and Smith are facing off against eachother on the tournament felt. This time, there isn’t much to negotiate as they’re only in the midst of their third level of the day here in Flight D.

As the clock ticks down toward the end of Level 12 so too does the player count in Flight C of the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa $350. One player doing his best to keep that count right where it’s at is Filipp Khavin. Khavin claims barely a starting stack as he sits on roughly 20,500 chips at the 800/1,600 level.

He’s a bit short here in Tampa, but the Florida resident is no stranger to success in his home state. Less than a year ago, he claimed victory in the WPTDeepStacks-Immokalee Main Event good for a $47,769 payday.

Filipp Khavin – 20,500

Chris Gaskin – 151,000
