Event 10: Scott Caracciolo Gets Two

Scott Caracciolo

Scott Caracciolo knows a little about success in the Double Green Chip Bounty event, he was part of a three-way even-split of this tournament during last year’s Winter Poker Open. And he’s on the right track against today and practically freerolling.

We caught the action at the end as Caracciolo was raking in a lot of chips with trip jacks and the dealer announcing two bounties. He sent two players to the rail earning $100 in casino chips and moved his stack up to 25,000.

Caracciolo added another $3,000 to his bankroll last night when he finished 14th in the multi-day $570 Deep Stack Event 7.

Event 10: The Luck of Byars

Level 3: 75/150 with 25 ante
Entries: 64

Brandon Byars

We’ve witnessed Tampa regular Brandon Byars running deep in tournaments for some big scores including a run to the last two tables in the big-field opening WPO event and a Spring Little Slick Series Main Event win in April.

But we’ve also seen him flop some big hands that would get run down or out flopped. The latest came in the early stages of the Bounty Event when he flopped a set with 5h5d on the 6d5d4c board. However, his opponent hit better with 3s2h. Byars added some chop outs on the 7c turn but had to ship some chips after the Jd river.

Byars is still sitting with 8,000 of his 12,000 starting stack so plenty of time to run it up.

Event 10: Climbing Towards the Guarantee

Mark “Bud” Wiser

The entrant count continues to move higher as Event 10 rolls through the second level of the day and the 56 entries put them on pace to match last year’s tournament.

We’re seeing some familiar faces pop into play, some new today and some getting in the game after busting out of Event 9. Mark “Bud” Wiser is back at the table looking for his third deep run of the series. He earned back-to-back cashes in Events 3 and 4, both with final table appearance, and earned $5,338 for his third place finish in the multi-day $150 Event 3.

Event 10: Mike Sinicola Defeats Stephan Bourges for the Title

Tampa, FL (December 14, 2015) — Monday evening was a good time to throw a bounty tournament in the poker room. Event 10 on the 2015 Winter Poker Open schedule was a $125 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament with $75 going in the standard prize pool and $25 going to a bounty on each player’s head.

After six hours of action, it was Rhode Island transplant Mike Sinicola standing alone as the last player in the tournament, earning $1,708 for his efforts along with the Winter Poker Open title.

The tournament quickly played down thanks to the bounties pushing the action faster. The tournament drew 60 entrants with half of them gone by the time registration closed. Event 10 was down to two tables shortly after the prize pool was announced and they formed the final four hours after kick off.

Sinicola came to the final table with the chip lead and never let it go. Even then, there was still some work to do. Ten players remained with six getting paid. We quickly lost Forrest Jahn, Jody Cvek, and David Kolaskey before Sinicola knocked out Joe Squires on the money bubble.

Agnes Barton was in the money and at a final table for the second straight evening but she couldn’t ride her short stack further than sixth place. Philip Sheffield and Scott “Twitch” Anderson followed soon after to set up a long three-way battle.

Despite the quick levels, Stephan Bourges and Daniel Ramirez battled against Sinicola but neither was able to overcome his huge lead. Ramirez lost out to an open-ended straight draw getting home and Bourges ran into a big hand to end the game.

Sinicola is a proud member of the small state of Rhode Island, even if he’s been down here for a while. “I lived down here for 11 years,” Sinicola laughed, “But you still have to represent.”

This was his first career victory and he picked up 13 bounties ($325) to go along with his $1,708 first place money.

Event 10 Results:

1st: Mike Sinicola – $1,708
2nd: Stephan Bourges – $1,049
3rd: Daniel Ramirez – $680
4th: Scott Anderson – $468
5th: Philip Sheffield – $338
6th: Agnes Barton – $257

Event 10: Daniel Ramirez – 3rd Place ($680)

Seat 1: Stephan Bourges – 69,000 (4 bb)
Seat 2: Mike Sinicola – 460,000 (29 bb)
Seat 3: Daniel Ramirez – 362,000 (23 bb)

After Scott Anderson was sent out in 4th place, the three remaining players settled it for a long battle. Stephan Bourges and Daniel Ramirez took turns doubling off each other and Bourges went on break with only four big blinds.

Bourges caught a double shortly after the return before the two big stacks went to battle.

Ramirez opened to 42,000 and Mike Sinicola called in the big blind to see the QdJh8d flop. Sinicola followed that up with a check/raise shove after Ramirez bet out 60,000. It took a few moments to work out but Ramirez shrug/called with Jc9h for middle pair against Sinicola’s open-ended straight draw KcTc.

The Ts turn left Ramirez with seven outs to dodge for the big double up but the 9c river was one of the bad cards. A tough way to go from second position to out and Ramirez had to settle for third place money.
