The 2022 Tampa Poker Classic Championship made its way through two starting flights and now we begin the process of playing down to our champion. The $2,500 buy-in tournament drew 440 entries and 77 players return for Day 2 at noon.

Our players created a prize pool worth $990,000 and the last 55 players will make some money. A min-cash will earn someone a payout worth $3,990 but they have $198,150 awaiting the winner.

Justin Zaki bagged huge in Flight A and returns with the chip lead followed by Event 10 champ Stuart Taylor, Romeo Mendoza, Nashaat Antonious, and WPT Tampa champ Brian Altman rounding out the top five.

They are scheduled to play 10 one-hour levels today or reach a final table with nine remaining, whichever comes first. Those who survive will return on Monday at 2 pm to play for the title.

Cards go back in the air at noon and we’ll be here the entire way.
