Flight B: $570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 1: 25/50

It’s 6 p.m. in Central Florida and it’s time for Flight B of the $570 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed WPTDeepStacks-Tampa opening event. Today’s Flight A, which still has about 45 minutes of play left before bagging, drew 104 entries putting the event well on pace to surpass the six-figure targeted prize pool.

Here’s the details on Flight B which is freshly underway now:

6pm: Event 1 – $570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em – Flight B

  • $570 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed
  • 20,000 starting chips
  • Day 1 levels are 30 minutes, Day 2 levels 40 minutes
  • Registration available until the start of Level 9 (~10:30pm)
  • Day 1 concludes following Level 14 (~1:45am)
  • Tournament follows Best Stack Forward format
  • Day 2 begins Sunday, June 12 at noon
  • Winner receives $1,100 WPTDeepStacks Main Event seat

Opening Flight Sets the Bar in the $570/$200K Event

Flight A: $570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 9: 500/1,000/100 Ante
Entries: 104

Level 9 got underway just moments ago and registration is now closed in Flight A of the $570 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed No Limit Hold’em tournament. The clock shows a total of 104 entries making up the field in the first of six starting flights in the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa opener. That figure puts the tournament on pace to draw a combined field of more than 600 and see its $200,000 guarantee exceeded by more than $100,000. In reality, those attendance and prize pool figures are likely quite under-exaggerated as the first flight typically draws one of the smaller fields.

Today’s Flight A schedule sees players bag and tag following Level 14. The event follows the Best Stack Forward format, so any participant unhappy with his or her holdings and can re-enter a subsequent flight.

WPTDeepStacks Tampa Begins Thursday

SHR-TAMPA_Trophy_Mockup

Central Florida’s premier tournament destination kicks off its WPTDeepStacks series; five primary events headline the schedule June 9-20.

Satellite Wednesday includes 11am, 3pm and 6pm events with a combined 20 tournament packages guaranteed.

The WPTDeepStacks at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa begins this Thursday, June 9. The 12-day series boasts a plethora of tournaments, most notably a $1,100 buy-in, $300,000 guaranteed live streamed Main Event June 16-20. In addition to being the finale for the prestigious festival, the Main Event is one of 10 points eligible events in the 2015/2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year race.

The Seminole Hard Rock is known for drawing some of the biggest and most diverse tournament fields around. Late in 2015, the property’s $1,650 Winter Poker Open Championship drew 453 entries generating a prize pool of better than $675,000. With that tournament long in the books, all eyes have been on the WTPDeepStacks for quite some time.

Running through June 20, Tampa’s series is headlined by a $570 multi-flight opener, a $350 multi-flight prelim and, of course, the aforementioned $1,100 Main Event. Together, these three tournaments stretch the duration of the series and combine for a total of $600,000 in guaranteed prizes.
