While walking among the tables, we found David Moses back with us and one of those visitors we come to expect when we throw a big series. He already owns a Tampa trophy after winning the Winter Poker Open Main Event in 2019 and going for another.

Moses also picked up his first WSOP Circuit ring at our sister room in Coconut Creek but went really big this past autumn. He journeyed to Vegas for the delayed World Series of Poker and picked up a cool $888,888 for winning the $888 8-Handed Crazy Eights WSOP bracelet. That’s a lot of eights.

We expect to see a lot of visitors make a trip for the $200,000 guarantee Championship next weekend but we’re seeing some come to town early for the big Event 2 field.

Among them, we found Roberto Bendeck, Ricardo Eyzaguirre, and father/son duo Eric and Caleb Piderit rolling into town from South Florida.

Level 5:  300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight B Entries:  170

We have a nice group in the poker room today, all trying to run up a stack in Flight B. There are 170 entries so far with four levels and a break to jump into the game.

Patrick Lovely is the early frontrunner, pushing his 20K starting stack up to 93,800 to lead the field after four levels. But there’s still plenty of time to catch him with only 10% of the field making it through to Day 2.
