2023 Pinktober Poker Open Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, Florida Event 7 $200 Bankroll Builder NLH (Re-Entry) $20,000 Guaranteed Entries: 170 Prize Pool: $27,200 October 29, 2023
Daniel Zappulla, PPO Event 7 Champ
Daniel Zappulla began his Sunday looking to take home a Guitar trophy, fell short of that goal, but turned his day around by picking up a different Pinktober Poker Open title.
He made Day 2 of the PPO Championship and cashed in 30th of 298 for $2,330. Zappulla went to the cage, entered the $200 Bankroll Builder, and walked away with the win along with another $4,940.
Not a bad day.
Zappulla cashed in four of the seven PPO events he was eligible to play (we don’t think he qualifies to play the Seniors Event), including three of the biggest fields of the series.

Carl Coppola

But it was first-timer Carl Coppola walking away with the title, the SPS trophy, and $22,420. This was Coppola’s first Tampa tournament (other than two satellites) and he is undefeated thus far.
