Action is a bit slower today than previous flights and we’re still looking at six tables in action heading to the end of Level 14. But Stephen Brite is doing his part to knock the field shorter.

Our 2021 WPT Tampa Six-Max PLO champ is up to 585,000 and running away with the chip lead late in the day.

Entries: 80
Prize Pool: $26,800
March 9, 2023

The second day of the 2023 Tampa Poker Classic produced another great turnout for a one-day non-hold’em trophy event. The $400 Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha tournament drew 80 entries, one of the biggest fields for this game in our history, and Dustin Peglow won the title outright for $8,210.

Peglow, after missing the Tampa Bay Lightning game with his deep run, earned the win after defeating Frank Zhang heads-up, and celebrated with his wife on the rail.

Jacob Naumann also had a fun day, playing both the Mixed PLO and Flight C of Event 1 simultaneously. He bagged in Event 1 and finished ninth in the PLO. Combined with his fourth place in the Limit Omaha 8 tournament, he’s cashed every tournament of the series so far.

Congrats to Dustin on the win and Jacob for the heater.
