With the clock ticking down towards the dinner break, Courtney Webb found a spot to get her chips in the middle with a chance to double late. The board was complete and reading and she moved all in for 20,700.

Her opponent thought for a few minutes before mucking the pot to Webb and pushing her stack up to 64,300 before the extended break.

Courtney Webb – 64,300 (40 bb)

The last warmup before the Championship produced a final table that would make a great one in this tournament. The $2,200 preliminary Event 12 final table played out a marathon seven hours with a two-hour heads-up match between Brett Apter and Hunter Cichy.

Apter came from a short stack to win the title along with $67,300 while Cichy took home the $41,610 consolation prize.

Both took the day off and back in action today for Flight B.

We found a couple of players at Table 21 who already banked themselves a Tampa Poker Classic trophies.

Jacob Naumann was among a bunch of players who cashed in two tournament last Sunday; he came back for Day 2 of Event 2 in the money, picked up a payout, entered the Limit Omaha 8 tournament and shipped it.

Stuart Taylor made the final table of the $1,100 TPC tournament and it was a tough lineup. He fought hard and walked away with that win after a heads-up deal.

Flight B Entries:  187

The entry count continues to click up and we are only a baker’s dozen away from topping 200 for the flight. Inching closer to the magic number.

Table 44 has a nice lineup of friendly, regular faces in our games. John Two Bears and Al Gomez drew seats next to each other and Stephen Brite is on the other side.

Brite had a nice run here in 2021; he finished seventh in this tournament for a $70K payday then won the $1,100 Six-Max Pot Limit Omaha title during the WPT Tampa series.
