Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500
Players Remaining: 76/513

Steve Trizis was recently spotted busting yet another opponent holding 7x7x versus 9x9x. Trizis held the sevens and spiked a set on the turn to get the best of it.

A few hands later, an opponent had 43,500 at risk preflop and Trizis called.

“You’re ahead,” Trizis said.

Opponent: QsQd
Trizis: Ad3d

Runout: AsKh5h7s8h

Trizis improved to a pair of aces and his good Day 2 run continued.

He had it up to about 375,000 at that time, but doubled up an opponent when his TxTx couldn’t hold on versus AxJx

Steve Trizis – 286,000

Event 3: Fortunate First Level for Forrest Jahn

Forrest Jahn

After beginning the day as the short stack with just 14,000 chips and only four big blinds, Forrest Jahn scooped a few notable pots and now sits with 65,000 chips.

Blinds are up to 2,000/4,000 and while Jahn is far from deep, he’s a lot healthier than he was 40 minutes ago.

Steve Trizis

As recapped by the table, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa regular Steve Trizis picked up 7x7x and dueled the 9x9x of his opponent. The pair played a big pot, but didn’t get it in preflop. Trizis eventually hit quads while his opponent spiked a set. They got the last of Trizis’ stack in and Trizis doubled to kick off Day 2.

Steve Trizis – 170,000

Event 3: Day 2 Underway; 102 Remain, 54 Pay with $38K and a Guitar to First
