From a massive starting field of 624 entries down to 113, Day 2 of the Winter Poker Open $570 is underway. Those still in have fought through a large percentage of their competitors and are still in the hunt for one of the top 63 in-the-money payout spots. Up for grabs is a prize pool that topped its lofty guarantee before settling in at $310,350.
Jerry Silva holds a massive lead running into 473,000 chips by the time Flight B expired Thursday. The next closes stack — which belongs to Flight E’s Onder Ekinci — totals 321,500.
In the days following Silva’s unlikely run, a slew of notables joined him with a bag including reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year, David Prociak, Rafael Reis, John Holley, Tom Nguyen, Manny Minaya, Karl Manouchakian, Brandon Byars and others. Of these, Prociak, Reis and Holley begin the restart in the top 10.

Updates throughout the tournament’s completion will be available right here at SHRTPoker.com.
We have now completed ten days of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Winter Poker Open and Day 11 will award two more guitar trophies.
Today we ran the last two flights of the $570 buy-in/$200,000 Guarantee Event 7 and they surpassed the guarantee early in the day. It was gone before the first hour was through and they ran it up over $300,000 before the final flight closed registration.
All told, Event 7 drew 624 entrants to create a prize pool worth $310,350 with the winner set to take home nearly $75,000 along with the guitar trophy and a seat in the WPO Championship.
Tampa regular Onder Ekinci went from short stack to chip leader during the last level in the early flight to bag the biggest stack in Flight E while Seminole Hard Rock Player of the Year David Prociak (pictured) was the big bag in Flight C.
Other big names returning tomorrow for Day 2 are John Dolan, Rafael Reis, John Holley, David Tuthill, John Christian Templeton, Carlos Loving, and Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah.
Event 7 has 113 players returning for Day 2 on Sunday at noon with 63 players making the money.
For those who didn’t make Day 2 or bust out early from Event 7, we have a $150 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Turbo event kicking off at 2pm with a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool. It will move along at a brisk pace and award another guitar trophy along with a $1,650 WPO Championship seat.
Sunday will be a busy day in the poker room with some big money on the line.

David Prociak
Play has come to an end in the final opening flight of Event 7. Only 24 advanced from this evening’s run to bring the final Day 2 count to 113 and more than half of them will make the money.
David Prociak was indeed the end-of-flight leader and put a very nice 260,000 away for tomorrow, good enough for a fourth place returning stack.
They’ll return tomorrow at noon for the restart. Complete chips counts and seat assignments will be posted when they are available.

On Table 44, it looks like reigning Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year David Prociak is in position to end the evening with the biggest stack. He quietly ran his stack up to 250,000 in the last two levels and will probably have the biggest bag from the night.
