Nick Zivolich is at or near the top of the counts following some big action at Table 2. Zivolich battled with Julio Abreu who lead following the break. The pair played a pot worth nearly 80,000 chips and Abreu was on the bad end of it. He was left with about 10,000 chips and busted a short while later.

With the former chip leader on the rail, Zivolich now owns one of the tournament’s big stacks.

Herbert Woodbery isn’t one to miss a major series at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. In fact, he rarely misses a major series at Seminole property. He’s in the Flight E field and chipped up slightly over the first five levels claiming just about 30,000 late in Level 6.

Woodbery, local to the area, claims two Seminole Championship final tables. Most notably, he scored a tournament W in the Seminole Immokalee Poker Challenge earning him $51,000. A few months before that, he chopped the Coco Poker Showdown pocketing $20,380. He went on to finish seventh in that season’ Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year race.

It’s been slower in the 2016/17 season, but Woodbery hopes to change that with some solid player during the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa.

The first break wrapped just moments ago and players are back in their seats playing to blinds of 150 and 300 with a 50 ante. The clock reads 176 Flight E entries bringing the combined field to an event 530.

Having turned his 20,000 starting chips into about 55,000, Julio Abreu sits atop the counts early in the day. Abreu has experienced some modest success in Hollywood, but the Tampa-area grinder is in search of some scores in his hometown.
