If you’d like to win your way into the TPC Championship, we have a $200 satellite that just kicked off that had a two-seat guarantee but there were enough for four seats when cards went in the air.

A great way to play the $300,000 guarantee tournament at a discount.

The entry count is clicking up a little faster now that people are waking up on a Friday morning. We have plenty of time to fill the room but things are pretty chill at the moment.

A few early friends in the field include 2022 TPC Champ Paul Snead, Jake Ferro, Shane Melert, Fred Paradis, Tony March, and Ross Corless.

Fred Paradis

After a series of exclamations at Table 10, we jumped over to see what the fuss was about—it turned out to be a pretty crazy runout for Fred Paradis.

He was heads up with the board showing Jc6d5h and had his opponent at risk. Paradis had the lead with AdAh against Ac6c until a third six hit the 6s turn. There was only one ace left in the deck that could send Paradis the pot and it came on the As river to send his opponent walking away.
