The field is filling in as we hit the afternoon hours and we have our second win-a-seat drawing winner in the house. In addition to the previously mentioned Ron Montgomery, Stephen Moss put his name in the hat and the Tampa resident received his notice to come on down.

We found Andrew Pacifico a bit earlier, taking part thanks to his Event 1 win, and now we have Quentin Jones in the field. But unlike Pacifico, Jones did not have much time to rest up before taking his seat.
Jones defeated a tough final table for an outright win in Event 3, no chop, and he had every chip when the tournament was complete. He earned nearly $32,000 for winning the three-day tournament and now he’s using his Main Event seat after a few hours of sleep.

We found another way players could enter the WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event. Capture a preliminary event title.
Besides winning the cash in one of our two multi-day preliminaries, the Event 1 and Event 3 champs also earned a seat in today’s field. Andrew Pacifico crushed the Event 1 final table to open the series and walked away with more than $60,000. The Jacksonville grinder is using his Main Event seat this afternoon and sitting with Ron Montgomery, one of our win-a-seat winners.

There are a few different ways to get into the Main Event. The two standards are the obvious direct buy-in and those in the game after winning seats via satellites.
But we have one other way. Each major series we have a random drawing and winners get their seat into the Main Event just for entering their name.
Three players had their entry drawn from the virtual hat and we expect to see all of them today.
Tampa’s Ron Montgomery was the first one to get here and he’s already in action trying to make the most of his freeroll.

The preliminary tournaments are complete and it is just about time to roll out the headliner. Today kicks off the $300,000 Guarantee WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event in the poker room and we expect the series trend to continue with another great turnout.
The $1,100 buy-in tournament has three starting days, one play down day, and the big final table on Monday. We will see our local players mix it up with top names and traveling pros throughout the weekend.
Main Event players will start out with 25,000 stacks and all levels last 40 minutes until the tournament reaches heads-up. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 10 after dinner around 6:30pm. They will play through 15 full levels and all survivors will bag up for Day 2 return on Sunday.
It’s an exciting time in the poker room and we expect to see a lot of familiar faces taking their shot this afternoon.
