Flight B hit 600 entries with the new level and only a handful away from the next milestone prize pool at $1.6 million.

Al Krux is the latest player to push his stack higher as the WSOP bracelet winner moved up to 110,000 after the break.

For those who like odd numeric coincidences, Tampa regular Cheri Beatty’s seat draw this morning was for Table 66 Seat 6 and now she sits with right around 66,000.

Players are back in their seats with another 30 entries jumping in the game. This is getting big.

A few bigger stacks have emerged with Iman Dan, two-time WPT LHPO Hollywood champ Brian Altman, and 2019 WSOP Main Event final table Zhen Cai all over 100,000.

We have nine WSOP Circuit events in the bag with nine different winners. But some are running better than others and David Tuthill’s first week earned him enough points to put him atop the WSOP Casino Championship Leaderboard.

Tuthill cashed in four of those nine events with a win in the Event 3 Turbo and sixth place final table finish in $1,125 PLO. Those results are good enough for a three-point lead over Event 5 champion Arkadiy Tsinis.

If Tuthill holds onto the top spot, he will earn a seat into the WSOP Global Casino Championship coming up in August.

A few days ago, David Prociak solidified his Seminole Hard Rock Poker credentials when he won his second WSOP Circuit ring at his second SHRP property. He ran over the $1,125 Pot Limit Omaha final table to earn the win and put himself in third place on the Casino Championship leaderboard.

Then he lost a bet on Valentine’s Day.

We don’t know what his bet with Melisa Singh was over but the end result was Prociak was required to wear all of his WSOP bling today; those two WSOP Circuit rings along with his WSOP $1,500 Seven Card Stud 8 bracelet from 2016.

First time ever wearing my bracelet.

In addition to the great poker this weekend, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa also offers something else to entice visitors. Warm weather with pool and (nearby) beach weather in the month of February.

Those factors have attracted plenty of folks from around the country including a good number of our friends from the frigid, foggy Northeast. Eric Siegel, Renata Colache, and Stephanie Hubbard are a few from the Garden State we found in the field today but they won’t be the last.

Level 3:  100/200 with a 200 ante
Flight B Entries:  423

The first break is complete and a lot more players joined during that time. The Flight B number sits at 423 in Level 4 to push the prize pool over $1.3 million for the biggest number in Tampa poker history.

While they were gone, we took a walk among the tables and it seems David Moses holds the biggest stack in the room. His 79,500 is best so far but there’s a lot of time remaining in the day.

After a busy three levels, Flight B of the Main Event was sent on a 15-minute break from the action to catch a breather or get some sun by the pool.

They will return and play three more levels before the next break.

As expected in a field of this quality, it’s tough to find a table without someone who’s shipped a big tournament. Two of them today have a connection here in Tampa.

David Moses won his first career WSOP Circuit ring last February in Coconut Creek but didn’t stop there. He traveled to this side of the state in December and won the 2019 Tampa Winter Poker Open Main Event for $150K. That win also put Moses in a two-way tie for second place on the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year leaderboard.

Byron Johnson’s big win was a little more recent. Event 1 of the series drew an incredible 2,433 entries and Johnson outlasted them all to win the ring along with $166,176.

Entry number 221 hit Flight B of the WSOP Circuit Main Event before the end of the first level. That is good enough to push the prize pool over the $1,000,000 guarantee and it will keep climbing until registration closes at the start of Level 13.
