Justin Fawcett

With defending champion Anthony Astarita already on the rail in Flight A, another past final tablist eyes a follow-up run. Justin Fawcett got a bit unlucky last year to finish third in the Main Event. He was sent home with a consolation prize of nearly $50,000 and returned this year hoping to repeat the feat with a slightly better result.

He chipped up recently chasing a flush draw before hitting a pair on the river to take a nice pot.

Flight A Entries: 163

A slew of notables have contributed to a continued upward trend in the entry count. Now with 161 at the beginning of Level 5, the field is assured to pass last year’s number in the opening flight and will likely put the tournament in position to best the overall year over year figure.

Anthony Astarita

Most notable among the notables is the defending champion, Anthony Astarita. Astarita is a recent entry in the event and his title defense is officially underway.

Last year, Astarita bested 538 earning over $130,000. He went on to score another $18,000 a few months later in the property’s $570 Fall Deep Stack Poker Series.

Astarita hopes to continue his good play and add another notch to his tournament belt here in the 2017 WPTDeepStacks Main Event.

As with most Seminole Hard Rock Poker events, the staff at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa gave away free entries in the WPTDeepStacks series Main Event via a Win a Seat contest. Players simply visited HardRockPoker.com, provided their name and zip code along with their e-mail address and were entered in the contest. Entry was open for the better part of two months, and when it closed the property chose three names at random and presented them a free $1,100 buy-in to the Main Event.

The WPTDeepStacks winners were Jeffrey Tamulski, Charles Montgomery and Bryan Menendez.

All three promptly redeemed the entry and were in their seats before cards went in the air today.

While the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa Win a Seat contest is over, the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood is running one for their $5,250 buy-in Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship in August. Like in Tampa, the Hollywood property is giving away three entries.
