A year ago this month, David DiBernardi won his first WSOP Circuit ring down at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, but after busting out of the Main Event on Sunday, DiBernardi was prepared to call it a series.

“I almost didn’t play this event,” said DiBernardi. “I was waiting in line because I min-cashed the Main Event, and my buddy said, ‘Dude, you’ve got to hop in this.'”

DiBernardi did hop into it, and finished Day 1 third in chips. By the time the final table began, he had moved up the leaderboard to second in chips, and when the final river card hit, DiBernardi was victorious in winning his second WSOP Circuit ring in his own hometown.

When asked about the WSOP Circuit coming to Tampa, DiBernardi said, “I’m from Tampa, and I’ve been waiting for something like this. It’s awesome, what the Hard Rock has done. This room has been amazing. It was a great series, and I’m excited that it’s coming back in September.”

Event 13 had a huge turnout. With the results of the WSOP Circuit series so far, it should be no surprise that the last point-generating tournament pulled a massive group of players into the Event Center.

It drew  374 entries into the $600 buy-in tournament and there were still 47 players remaining when they bagged up for the night. Such a great end that the Day 2 restart was changed from 2 pm to noon to accommodate the return.

Dapo Ajayi starts Day 2 with the chip lead with WPT Season XII Player of the Year Mukul Pahuja in second and WSOP Circuit winner David DiBernardi third. David Prociak is still in the running for his second ring of the series (and third overall) and he’s also in contention for Casino Champion.

Cards fly at noon and we will keep one eye on them while our main focus with be the Main Event.

Top ten returning stacks:

1. Dapo Ajayi – 446,500 (89 bb)
2. Mukul Pahuja – 422,500 (85 bb)
3. David DiBernardi – 337,500 (68 bb)
4. Victor Nissim – 302,000 (60 bb)
5. Hamid Izadi – 301,000 (60 bb)
