Level 13: 2,000/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 45 of 192

Flight E of the Winter Poker Open $570 is moving along and players just finished their last break of the night. From 192 starting, they’re down to only 45 left with just one hour of play remaining in the day.

This is the point in the tournament where lots of movement in the stacks can often take place. One player that’s already seen a lot of movement in his 30,000-chip starting stack is Carlos Guerrero.

After starting the day about seven hours ago on a level playing field, he’s worked his way way up the counts and has a pile of chips worth about 430,000. As is, he’s tops in his flight easily and that figure puts him at fifth in the overall counts for now.

His stack is so big, in fact, he’s late returning to play choosing to instead let a few rounds of blinds and antes come out before the end of the night.

Level 11: 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 77 of 192

Registration closed just about 30 minutes ago, but already a good chunk of the Flight E players are on the rail. One of the recent notable eliminations is David Bradshaw.

Bradshaw is a past Winter Poker Open Main Event champion having won the finale in December of 2016.

Back then, Bradshaw pocket $154,750 for the victory and was catopolted into third place on the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year leaderboard.

Now, a couple years later, he’s back in search of more scores. It wasn’t meant to be in the 10am Flight E, but he re-entered and is back in the game in the 3pm Flight F.

Level 10: 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Flight E Entries: 192 (Total Entries: 650)

Registration is closed in the Saturday 10am installment of the Winter Poker Open $570 buy-in. The $300,000 guarantee was surpassed during the five hours of open registration and re-entry as the weekend field settled in at 192 entries. Through five flights, that puts the field at 650 good for a prize pool of $325,000 and growing.

Tournament breakdown thus far:

Underway now alongside this Flight E is the sixth and final flight, Flight F. Registration and re-entry in that flight is open until about 8pm. Shortly thereafter, the complete prize pool and payout information will be posted for your viewing pleasure.

The Flight E field is looking up at Geneva Pinney as the second break of the day is nearing. Pinney is tops with a stack of roughly 150,000 and she looks to keep a hot November/December going that already includes 2nd-, 4th- and 5th-place finishes and about $16,500 in earnings.

There are a number of familiar and decorated faces in the field and we’ll take a look at some of them after registration closes.

Never one to shy from action, it’s no surprise to see Marvin “The Duckman” Karlins with a big stack early here in Flight E of the $570. Karlins, a published author and university professor, is a regular in the Tampa poker room. His poker achievements include a final table appearance in a $5,000 buy-in event in Jacksonville along with more than $280,000 in earnings.

Karlin’s tournament resume is devoid of any wins, though, and he’s hoping a hot start here in the $570 is the first step toward finding the winner’s circle. Later in Level 7 he’s already tripled up and sits with about 100,000 chips.

The sixth and final flight kicks off then, too.

Thanks for a great showing, Tampa!
