Dani Mae

Flight C is dropping fast and nearing the last two tables of the day. With all those going out, someone was going to build a big stack and Dani Mae has the most of them all. She is over 280,000 with more than three levels remaining today.

Mae has one reported tournament win; she was the 2014 SHR Tampa Winter Poker Open Ladies champ in 2014.

Flight C Players Remaining: 28 of 71

Registration officially closed on Flight C with 71 entries pushing the combined total to 169 for Event 1 over the first three flights. That leaves the field only 31 entries short of the $100,000 and the might get there before cards go in the air before the final flight at 6 pm.

And today’s players are not messing around. Flight C is already down to 28 players with them playing out through Level 14.

Woody Johnson

Flight C completed the second break of the day and it looks like we have 71 souls in the game but we will await official confirmation.

Your Flight C chip leader was easy to spot. Woody Johnson is up to 123,200 from his 25,000 starting stack and leads the field. He says he would have more had he not run his kings into aces.

The Poker Room is filling up with Event 7 players and also a healthy number of cash grinders trying to hit the high-hand bonus. It’s a fun Tuesday to be in action.

Time is also running out if you want to get in this growing field for Flight C. The guarantee is a foregone conclusion now, we’ll just have to wait and see how far over $100,000 it gets in Flight D. A little over one hour remain for late registration in Flight C with Flight D rolling out at 6 pm.

Karl Manouchakian

Everybody must be awake now because we’re seeing a surge of entries after the break. The combined count cruised past 150 without a blink and there’s a steady line of players getting in the registration line. Plus we have another five ready to join when the 9 am satellite wraps up.

Karl Manouchakian is back in action after a big day on Monday. He went deep in the $1,650 tournament and was six river outs away from winning, instead settling for second-place money while Mario De La Puente took the title.

Woodrow Pass

Flight C players are just about through the fourth level of the day which means they have a break on the near horizon. The entry count took a nice jump over the last 30 minute and we’re nearing 150 combined entries. We’ll lock up that $100,000 Guarantee later this evening in Flight D.

SHRP regular Woodrow Pass took an early seat and grinding in the of the room. He recently hit a milestone when he crossed over $100,000 in career earnings after winning the May Big Stack Special. The was also Pass’s fourth career SHR Tampa trophy going home.

Mehdi Belhassan

Flight C reached the afternoon hours and we’re seeing more people wake up and get themselves to the Poker Room. The combined entry count is up to 129 and on the way to the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Mehdi Belhassan made his return to the series after a nice run a few days ago. He was part of the 1,012-entry Event 1 field, went deep, made the final table, and battled short stack on his way to a seventh-place finish four $17,459.
