Another mix game will run this afternoon with SPS Event 16 at noon. And putting a twist in there. Instead of running some H.O.R.S.E. action, the rotation order has been adjusted for H.E.R.O.S.
The order will be Limit Hold’em, Stud 8, Razz, Limit Omaha 8, and Stud. H.E.R.O.S.
Players start with 30K deep stacks and all levels last 30 minutes for the one-day trophy event. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30 pm. The dinner break will last 30 minutes and start at 6:30 pm.

2022 WPT Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, Florida Event 16 $400 Seniors 50+ (Re-Entry) $30,000 Guaranteed Entries: 317 Prize Pool: $106,195 August 31, 2022
Jeffrey Nemes topped the field in the Senior Event tonight to take home the WPT Trophy along with the top prize worth $20,383 after a three-way chop to end play. Here is what he had to say after the victory tonight.
“This was a grind, but because I’m in my late 50s I guess I can only play in Seniors events (laughs), that’s what I’ve been telling everybody. It was great players tonight, card dead all day, but I held out. But when I got to the final table I couldn’t miss, and it worked out in my favor. That’s exactly how it went,” said Nemes.
“My wife is my poker coach, we live, eat, and breath poker, we play all the time, and we love the game. We will back in a couple days,” said Nemes about his supportive rail bird during the late stages of the tournament.
“We play at all the Hard Rock properties, we mostly go to Fort Lauderdale because it’s closer, but they treat us very well here, we had a great room, and the improvements that they’ve made at the property are great. But I have to say that the tournament staff and floor staff here are outstanding. The dealers are great, not one problem, they know the rules, they keep a tight ship, and that’s what makes the game a pleasure, the staff handles it,” said the Naples, FL resident Nemes about his tournament experience a little north of home up here in Tampa.

Mitch Mitchell is in town for the WPT Tampa Championship and taking a shot at the Seniors title. The newly turned 50-year-old is playing in his second-ever Seniors Event, and the first went pretty well.
Mitchell went to Vegas this summer, played in the WSOP Seniors Event, and had a great run to make the final table and finish in third place.
Playing my 2nd ever Seniors tourney. Hopefully this goes a couple spots better than my first one. 🤣. @SHRTPoker@WPT
