Level 3 came to an end and tournament staff sent the Main Event players on a 15-minute break from the action. They will return to blinds still at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante.

David DiBernadi
The entry count continued to climb and the Main Event moved more than a third of the way to the $1,000,000 guarantee before the first break. We’re looking at another great turnout.
We found a couple of Davids in the room in early action, both with some great results.
David Jackson has titles from around the country including New Jersey, Las Vegas, and his home state of Florida and won a WSOP Circuit ring in North Carolina.
David DiBernardi has a unique record of sorts. He has tournament wins at our all three Seminole Florida properties that offer poker. DiBernadi picked up his second Tampa win in December when he won the Winter Poker Open Freeze-out. He began 2019 with a WSOP Circuit win in Coconut Creek and took home a Turbo trophy during the 2017 Poker Showdown in Hollywood.

Steve Tziris
One of the fun parts of these big events is seeing out local regular mix it up with some of the best players from outside Florida. The Sunshine State has its fair share of top talent and we have a lot of local players in early action.
A quick look through the field we found DeVaughn Smith, Marie Harrell, Bryce McVay, Steve Tziris, and Jesse Hadley to name a few. More will make their way to the Event Center where they hope to keep the Main Event ring right here in Tampa.

Jeremy Becker
The Main Event field will be a mix of players from around the country and from within the state. There will also be players who buy directly into the game and those who win their seats.
Jeremy Becker went the long route and is freerolling his entry today. Our in-room tournaments feature a leaderboard, points are awarded based on performance and Becker was top of the heap for the period that included December and January. For taking the top spot, Becker won a seat into today’s WSOP Circuit Main Event.
Michael Tait is in today’s event in a different way. We have been running Main Event satellites for a while and Tait booked his seat via a $250 satellite a few days ago. If this entry doesn’t work, he has another satellite-won ticket in his pocket.
And the satellites aren’t done even though the Main Event is underway. We have two more today, one at 4 pm and another at 7 pm with five seats guaranteed in each.
