Play has come to an end for Flight C with only eight players advancing to Day 2 tomorrow. The field dropped quickly and came close to ending early.

We will post chips counts for the first three levels as soon as they are available.

Level 1: 100/100
Flight D Entries: 31 (Total Entries: 200)

We didn’t think it would take long to get there and it didn’t. Only a few minutes into Flight D, the 31st entry took a seat to officially reach the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Now they’ll run it up until registration closes at the start of Level 9 around 10:30 pm.

Event 7 Flight D: Waiting on the Guarantee

Level 1: 100/100

One last flight for one last multi-day tournament before the WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event. Event 7 has a combined 169 entries after three flights and only 31 are needed this evening to hit the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. It shouldn’t take to long to get there.

Once the combined total crosses 200 entries, every new one will push the prize pool higher.

They will start with 25,000 stacks and all Day 1 levels last 30 minutes. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 around 10:30 pm and Flight D will come to an end after Level 14. All survivors will bag up and return tomorrow at noon for Day 2 where they’ll play to a winner.

Cards go in the air at 6 pm and we will hit some hightlights along the way including registration closing, prize pool info, and Day 2 counts/seat later this evening.

Event 7 Flight C: Two Tables After Break

Level 12: 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 17 of 71

The last break of the day is complete and Flight C dropped to two tables almost immediately upon their return, plus a bonus KO to get them to 17 players remaining. The math said Flight C should bag around 13 players so we’ll see if things slow down over the last three levels.

Dani Mae continues to lead and it’s still not that close. Jennifer Haselton, Woodrow Pass, and Wayne Daley are still among those still in the game and trying to advance to Day 2.

Event 7 Flight C: Dani Mae Way Out Front

Dani Mae

Flight C is dropping fast and nearing the last two tables of the day. With all those going out, someone was going to build a big stack and Dani Mae has the most of them all. She is over 280,000 with more than three levels remaining today.

Mae has one reported tournament win; she was the 2014 SHR Tampa Winter Poker Open Ladies champ in 2014.

Event 7 Flight C: Registration Closed with 71 Entries

Registration officially closed on Flight C with 71 entries pushing the combined total to 169 for Event 1 over the first three flights. That leaves the field only 31 entries short of the $100,000 and the might get there before cards go in the air before the final flight at 6 pm.

And today’s players are not messing around. Flight C is already down to 28 players with them playing out through Level 14.

Woody Johnson

Flight C completed the second break of the day and it looks like we have 71 souls in the game but we will await official confirmation.

Your Flight C chip leader was easy to spot. Woody Johnson is up to 123,200 from his 25,000 starting stack and leads the field. He says he would have more had he not run his kings into aces.

The Poker Room is filling up with Event 7 players and also a healthy number of cash grinders trying to hit the high-hand bonus. It’s a fun Tuesday to be in action.

Time is also running out if you want to get in this growing field for Flight C. The guarantee is a foregone conclusion now, we’ll just have to wait and see how far over $100,000 it gets in Flight D. A little over one hour remain for late registration in Flight C with Flight D rolling out at 6 pm.

Karl Manouchakian

Everybody must be awake now because we’re seeing a surge of entries after the break. The combined count cruised past 150 without a blink and there’s a steady line of players getting in the registration line. Plus we have another five ready to join when the 9 am satellite wraps up.

Karl Manouchakian is back in action after a big day on Monday. He went deep in the $1,650 tournament and was six river outs away from winning, instead settling for second-place money while Mario De La Puente took the title.

Woodrow Pass

Flight C players are just about through the fourth level of the day which means they have a break on the near horizon. The entry count took a nice jump over the last 30 minute and we’re nearing 150 combined entries. We’ll lock up that $100,000 Guarantee later this evening in Flight D.

SHRP regular Woodrow Pass took an early seat and grinding in the of the room. He recently hit a milestone when he crossed over $100,000 in career earnings after winning the May Big Stack Special. The was also Pass’s fourth career SHR Tampa trophy going home.
