Two days ago, Jeremy Becker broke through to capture his first major SHR Tampa title after many close calls. He won Super Stacks Event 3 after a tough final table and he walked away with the trophy along with $27,200.
Becker took a day off yesterday and now back in the Poker Room trying to go back-to-back.

Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Day 1B Entries: 48
The first break of Flight B came along and not long after we had the 48th entry of the day. That is good enough to put the combined total at 100 and the tournament officially hit its $150,000 guarantee. Every entry from now on will pile up the prize pool until we close registration at the start of Day 2..

Level 1: 100/100
The last weekend of the Super Stacks Poker Series is here and we expect a big turnout over the next two days. We have Flight B of the $1,700 buy-in Main Event starting at 10 am and it will easily surpass its $150,000 guarantee. They got more than halfway there on a Thursday so Friday will be a snap.
Players start with 50,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels last 40 minutes, going up to 60 on Day 2 and 90 from Level 23 until the tournament is heads-up. Late registration is available until the start of Day 2 on Sunday at noon with unlimited re-entries during that time.
Flight B will continue into the evening and those with chips after Level 14 will advance to Day 2.
They get underway at 10 am and we will pick up our coverage around the first break.

Level 14: 2,000/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Day 1A Players Remaining: 15 of 52
Day 1A came to an end with 15 players of 52 entries advancing to Day 2 on Sunday at noon. Interesting coincidence at the end, Jason Goldman and James Maiti spent most of the day sitting next to each other and both put 361,000 in their bag as co-leaders. Brian Arbaugh is third with 338,000 and the rest will be chasing them.
We will post the full chip count list as soon as it is available.

The last break has come and gone and they are still chasing Brian Arbaugh as the chip leader. He started out strong and looks like he will finish the same way. Arbaugh is up to 347,000 for the lead with Ken O’Donnell second with 238,000.
They will play through three more levels and anyone with chips will have a seat in Day 2 on Sunday at noon.

Level 10: 500/1,500 with a 1,500 ante
Day 1A Entries: 48
The entry count is up to 48 for Flight A to get the field nearly halfway to the $150,000 guarantee with two huge flights to go, tomorrow at 10 am and Saturday at the same time.
While that number went up, the players remaining went down. Tournament staff shrunk them down to three tables with 22 players in contention for a Day 2 bag.
Aaron Thivyanathan is among the recent entries and he had a nice summer with us. He finished second in the $2,200 NLH tournament during the WPT Tampa series and picked up a win in the July $1,100 One-Day Challenge tournament.
