Steve Trizis

Steve Trizis has topped the field in Event 20 tonight to take home the largest portion of the prize pool worth $16,930 along with the SPS guitar pick trophy.

We had a chat with him after the win, and here is what Trizis had to say about the win, “This is awesome, awesome, of course, of course; I got a guitar trophy before, but I like this kind too. I will probably put it at my restaurant, the Country Skillet Restaurant.”

“Fairly smooth, I never was really at risk much. I wasn’t really big until the final table, I was average,” said Trizis when he was asked about his path through the tournament.

He continued with when asked about the endgame for him at the final table, “At the end I just got a lot of really good hands. I got aces one time to take a guy out four-handed.”

“I enjoy everything about it. I’m going to play the mixed games event tomorrow, I’m not going to play it well, I’m going to play it [laughs]. That’s probably what my celebration will be, and now I’ve got a couple bullets for it,” said Trizis to end the interview when asked about his tournament series experience and celebration plans.

Sean Troha Wins a Quick Turbo PLO to take home the Event 20 Trophy

Sean Troha

Sean Troha took home the top prize worth $31,740, along with the WPT Trophy tonight at the conclusion of a quick turbo pot-limit Omaha event tonight in Tampa. Here is what he had to say after the victory. “It was pretty crazy that it all happened super fast. Heads-up was just one hand. I was trying to order food three-handed, and then all of a sudden it was over,” said Troha.

“I just won every big hand in this tournament, whether I got it in behind, ahead, 50-50, I just won every time, so it made it easy for me, I didn’t take many big hits this whole tournament,” said Troha when he was asked about his journey through the tournament field.

With some newfound bankroll, and an extra boost of confidence, Troha is also going to jump into the Main Event:  “I think I’m going to play the main tomorrow, and maybe the next day too, and see what happens there. I will be here through the end of it. I’m more of a four-card guy, so when there is PLO on the schedule I’m more likely to come, and now they’ve got me for the Main Event because I came for the PLO.”

“This has been great, the casino is huge, it’s really nice. There is a ton of food, I didn’t expect it to be this much like a resort with a pool, spa, and all of that,” said Troha when he was asked about his experience at the property so far here in Tampa.
