Event 2 was the perfect tournament on the Tampa Poker Classic schedule for those looking for some Sunday poker to close out the weekend. It drew players from the Event 1 restart as well as those who missed out. It created a talented final table and Nicholas Raio beat them all for his first career tournament win.

The tournament drew 116 entries to easily surpass the $20,000 guaranteed prize pool and pushed it up to $38,300. The last 12 spots paid out and it took a while to get there. The bubble lasted for nearly an entire level after Wally Maddah exited in 14th place.

The short-handed tournament had a nine-handed final table and Elanit Hasas lead them all when they joined as one. Hyndi Khomutetsky made another SHRP final table but she had to settle for a seventh-place finish.

Anthony Dianaty was down to three big blinds late in the tournament, hit the final table in second position, and cashed out for second-place money after a nice spin up.

Raio earned $11,040 for the title along with the Tampa Poker Classic guitar trophy. It was his first recorded live poker win, after several close calls, and his earnings moved further over $100,000.

After a long grind with 12 players remaining, Event 2 made it down to its nine-handed final table. Elanit Hasas made it there with the chip lead and her 510,000 is best followed by Anthony Dianaty with 480,000.

Dianaty is notable at the final table after being down to 25K with the big blind at 8k. Hyndi Khomutetsky is making another SHRP final table along with fellow regular Paul Stanechewski.

They still have more than $11,000 up for grabs and someone will walk away with that later tonight along with the Tampa Poker Classic guitar trophy.
