Level 19:  4,000/8,000
Players Remaining: 16 of 212

After the fast three levels that saw half the field hit the rail, players were sent on a 10 minute break for a breather.

David Prociak (1,061,000) and Leif Force (929,000) have the two biggest stacks and it’s not close. Yi Chi Li is third in chips but a ways behind with 639,000.

They will play three more levels before the next break and they should be down to the final table nine by that time.

The WSOP Circuit Main Event is right around the corner, only a few hours away, and that means it is time to roll out the first of two High Rollers. First up is the $2,200 High Roller this afternoon at 4 pm in the Event Center.

The tournament has a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool that should be beat early and a lot of talent will be in the room.

They will start with 30,000 stacks and run 40-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration and re-entries are available until the start of Day 2 tomorrow with Day 1 coming to an end after Level 12.

We have a lot of big players traveling to Tampa for the big tournaments and this will be a great way to head to the final weekend.

It took less than one level to loss a table’s worth of players and that triggered the three-table redraw with 24 players remaining.

WSOP bracelet winner David Prociak came into the day with the third biggest stack but making a run. He’s going for his second WSOP Circuit ring, the first coming in Hollywood in that PLO game.

Level 8:  300/600 with a 600 ante

We have another 500+ entries in a field and the combined total for the Monster Stack now stands at 1,111. With another 100 or so entries, the prize pool will officially double the $200,000 guarantee.

We found a few more Tampa regulars in the field including two with a lot of success. Jeremy Becker is the current Tournament Leaderboard champ from December through January, defending his title from the period before. For the award, Becker earned a freeroll into the $1,000,000 guarantee WSOP Circuit Main Event starting on Friday.

Anthony Astarita already has a big tournament win on property; he won the WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event is 2016 for a nice $131,000 payday.

Cards went back in the air at 2 pm on the dot for the big PLO game. Yi Chi Li leads the return and Arkadiy Tsinis is looking for his second ring in consecutive days. He won the Six-Handed event yesterday and went straight to the registration desk for the PLO tournament.

We did lose one player early; Justin Zaki was unable to spin up his stack and went out in 32nd place.

Tampa once again proved its love for Pot Limit Omaha. Yesterday’s $1,125 buy-in PLO tournament drew 212 entries for another massive prize pool during the WSOP Circuit series. The tournament made it into the money with 32 remaining at the end of Day 1 and they return at 2 pm to play it out.

Yi Chi Li (not to be confused with SHR Tampa Tournament Manager Yi Li) leads the return with a lot of talent trying to chase him down including Robert Mizrachi, PLO pro David Prociak, and reigning WSOP Poker Players Champion Phil Hui.

Cards go back in the air at the top of the hour and we will track them until we have our next WSOP Circuit champ.

Top ten returning stacks:

The $200,000 guarantee was long gone before the start of Flight B and the prize pool crossed the $300,000 mark before the first 90 minutes of the day were in the books. It’s ramping up to be another huge day in the Event Center.

We found a couple players with big final table appearance already in the series. Michael Tait cruised to the $600 Six-Handed final table and was unlucky to go out in sixth place. Massimo Dirienzo made the massive Double Stack final table and finished fifth out of 2,433 for a $60K pay day.

Level 1:  100/100

Today we roll out the second flight of the WSOP Circuit Monster Stack and there’s little drama over hitting the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. With 574 entries in yesterday’s flight, only 33 more are needed today to make the mark and there will be that many registered before cards go in the air.

Now we’ll see how big they can make it.

They will start with 30,000 stacks and the first 24 levels last 30 minutes before increasing to 45 from Level 25 forward. Late registration is available until the start of Level 13 at 6pm following a  30-minute dinner break and they can re-enter as often as needed during that time.

The flight will come to an end once the field hits 8% or the end of Level 24, whichever comes first.
