Event 8 is down to seven tables with 56 players but still a good distance away from thinking about the money bubble. But they are moving along at a nice clip with players getting it in trying for a big stack.

Mansoor Kader is among those moving in the right direction, up to 119,700 after taking the seat of defending champ Anthony Askey.

There are a few big stacks in the room and Denis Cry leads them all with 153,800. Jacob Naumann (139,700) and MT Tawfik (136,100) are also stacked nicely heading into the middle part of the tournament.

Edgardo Rosario Wins WPO Triple Stack Special

Event 8
$180 Triple Stack Special (Re-Entry)
$20,000 Guaranteed
Entries: 288
Prize Pool:  $41,470
December 6, 2021

Edgardo Rosario

Event 9 of the Winter Poker Open packed the Poker Room on a Monday evening with 288 entries in the $180 Triple Stack Special. The tournament went deep into Tuesday and Edgardo Rosario captured his first Tampa title with an outright win for $10,362.

The tournament easily beat its $20,000 guarantee and put $41,470 in the prize pool with the last 29 set to make some money. But fate and luck had something to say about that. On the money bubble, both Daniel Salazar and Veton Kastrati were eliminated on the same hand at separate tables and chopped up a min-cash.

After several close calls, Rosario took home his first Tampa trophy after he defeated Kevin Ragusa heads-up in the early morning hours. Ragusa banked $6,380 for his runner-up finish while Rosario took the lion’s share of the prize pool.
