The second day of the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Spring Poker Open saw the final flight of the first event wrap up and two players chop up the $210 Pot Limit Omaha event.

When the day began, 113 players came in at 11 am to play in the third and final flight of the opening event of the series, a $560 No Limit Hold’em event with a $100,000 guaranteed prizepool. The first two flights were played on Friday and 136 players showed up over the flights, making the total field size for the event 249 and generated a prizepool of $124,500.

Of the 113 players, only 18 players survived 14 hours of play, leaving 41 players who will come back on Sunday morning at 10 am to play down to a winner.

41 players will show up, but only 24 will earn a payday. A min-cash is worth $1,033, but everybody will have their eyes on the top prize of $34,911.

The second event of the series got cards in the air at 7 pm. 44 players showed up for the $210 Pot Limit Omaha event. After 16 levels of play, 44 players had been slimmed down to just two.

Pete Walsworth and Christy Pham chopped the tournament and each took home $2,502 when they got to heads-up play. They decided to go all in blind and flip for the Main Event tournament voucher that goes with winning the tournament. Walsworth won the flip and will have an entry into the $1,650 Main Event that takes place at the end of next week.

Here are a look at the results of the $210 Pot Limit Omaha:

1. Pete Walsworth – $2,502 and Main Event Seat
2. Christy Pham – $2,502
3. Jim Hagan – $1,232
4. Mike Tadlock – $847
5. Victor Pineiro – $616

Sunday will continue to have lots of action on the felts of the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Poker Room. Along with Day 2 of the $560 No Limit Hold’em event, the $210 No Limit Hold’em Event with a $20,000 guaranteed prizepool gets under way at noon and there is a $210 deep stack turbo No Limit Hold’em event at 7 pm.

As soon as Jim Hagan was eliminated, Pete Walsworth and Christy Pham began discussing a chop. They decided to chop the remaining prize pool evenly giving both players $2,502 and go all in blind and flip for the $1,650 seat into the Main Event. Walsworth won the flip and will take the voucher.

The final two players took two completely different routes to their heads-up chop. Walsworth was one of the chip leaders throughout most of the tournament and used his chip stack to leverage his opponents.

Pham, on the other hand, was short most of the tournament and came to final table as one of the shortest stacks.

“This is the first time I’ve ever played PLO,” said Pham at the conclusion of the event with a smile. “I only usually play $2/$5 no limit and other tournaments.”

Pham was able to score two key double ups. One during the final two tables where she flopped two pair and got all in on the flop against the nut straight. Running diamonds came to give her the nut flush to double up. The second came when she flopped top set and got all in on the turn against the nut straight. She was able to pair the board on the river to stay alive.

While she hit two fortunate river cards to stay alive earlier in the tournament, Pham held pocket aces during their final all in flip for the Main Event voucher and had them cracked by Walsworth when he made three tens on the turn.

Walsworth and Pham topped a field of 44 players in this $210 Pot Limit Omaha tournament, which was full of local pros and tournament regulars. Even though this is the second event of the series, Walsworth and Pham are the first players to earn a Spring Poker Open title since the first event, a $560 No Limit Hold’em event, doesn’t finish until Sunday night.

Here are a look at the results:

1. Pete Walsworth – $2,502 and Main Event Seat
2. Christy Pham – $2,502
3. Jim Hagan – $1,232
4. Mike Tadlock – $847
5. Victor Pineiro – $616
