Level 6:  400/800 with a 800 ante

Jacob Naumann

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.

Stephen Brite

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.

The first break came to an end with 180 entries and a prize pool over $800,000. They are creeping up towards that big number.

There were no massive stacks found while they were away but it looks like two of the top players in the room have the biggest stacks. Toby Boas is sitting behind a stack of 113,000 while Byron Kaverman is doing well with 110,100.
