Level 6: 300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight B Entries: 52 (Total Entries: 104)

Flight B of Event 3 reached 52 entries after the first break to match the number they had in Flight A. That puts the tournament past the midpoint to reaching the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool and it should easily reach it tomorrow.

Several top players remain in the game including Anthony Dianaty fresh off his runner-up finish in last night’s Event 2. Also grinding we have Wally Maddah, Anthony Astarita, Karl Manouchakian, Hunter Cichy, and Erik Christensen.

This will bring our Tampa Poker Classic coverage to an end for the evening. We will return tomorrow morning with all the action from Flights C and D of Event 3 along with chip counts from Flight B and a recap of the Omaha 8 final table.

Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight B Entries: 43 (Total Entries: 95)

Flight B is closing out Level 4 which means it’s just about time for that first break from the action. The combined count is nearing triple digits and the halfway point to the $100,000 Guarantee.

It appears Brandon Byars is the current leader with more than 60,000 from his 25,000 starting stack. A good start with ten more levels to go.

End of Level 14: 2,000/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 10 of 52

Flight A of Event 3 came to an end with ten players remaining but barely. Mark Wiser was all in on the last hand with against queens and flopped two aces to double.

Fred Paradis bagged up the biggest stack with 338,500 with Herbert Woodbery in second with 190,000.

We will post the full set of chip counts once everything is settled and the numbers are checked.

Level 14: 2,000/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 10 of 52

As expected, Flight A played down to one table and they are working their way through the last level of the night. It looks like Fred Paradis is still leading and we’ll keep an eye out for big pots.

Level 1: 100/100

We are rolling out another multi-flight tournament over the next couple days to move us closer to the Main. Flight B of Event 3 starts at 6pm in the poker room with a $570 buy-in and healthy $100,000 Guarantee.

Flight A put 51 entries in so far and we expect an even bigger turnout this evening.

Players will start with 25,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels will last 30 minutes before switching to 40 on Day 2. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 10:30pm and their day will come to an end after Level 14. Those still with chips will bag them up for a Day 2 return on Wednesday.

Level 12: 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 15 of 52

The last break is complete and the 15 remaining players are back in their seats ready to make their way through three more levels.

Fred Paradis is the new leader they are chasing and his 215,000 is the only stack over 200K. Herbert Woodbury is the closest with 170,000 but it is anyone’s game to bag the end-of-day lead.

Level 11: 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 16 of 52

They are wasting no time in Flight A. The 52 entries have been whittled down to two tables and 16 players remaining. They will take a break after this level and there will still be three more levels after that.

If they fail here, Flight B kicks off at 6pm.

Herbert Woodbery, Bryce McVay, Derrick Cutler, Mark Wiser, and Lawrence Whyte are still in contention for a Day 2 bag.

Level 10: 500/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 27 of 52

The numbers are in and we had two more players jump in during the break to push the Flight A count up to 52. That’s the perfect pace for the $100,000 Guarantee with three more flights to go, the next up at 6pm with late registration till 10:30pm.

Flight A is down to the last three tables but we expect action to slow now with the average stack around 50 big blinds. They will continue to play until the end of Level 14 when survivors will bag up for a return on Wednesday for Day 2.
