$150 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em Turbo (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 1,200/2,400/400 Ante

Another good reason for a Sunday afternoon Turbo, besides the obvious value, is the second chance opportunity for those who fall short in the multi-day field Event 7.

We’ve seen players bust out of that event and immediately jump into Event 8. The format dictates that it won’t last into the wee hours of the morning and also allows players a chance at the rare double cash day.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah and fun-time AJ “Doc” Santos both cashed in Event 7 (Maddah in 47th, Santos in 38th). Now they’re in the Turbo looking to add another cash to their bankroll without ever leaving the property.

Level 7: 400/800/100 Ante

The Turbo event is shaping up to have another nice turnout for some Sunday afternoon poker. Last week’s version drew 199 entrants and we have over 150 in the game with two more levels of late registration to go.

We ran into Cheri Beatty catching a big double/knockout and asking “where was this yesterday (in the $560)?” She’s run her stack over 80,000 and in good position for the long haul.

Kevin “Kevmath” Mathers, the holder of mass poker knowledge, is back in action today after falling short in Event 7. He took a break last night, enjoyed a Tampa Bay Lightnings game, and firing into the Turbo event.

The clock strikes 2 p.m. and the eighth of 14 Winter Poker Open primary events is underway. The $150 deep stack no limit hold’em turbo tournament features a $15,000 guarantee, a starting stack of 25,000 chips and 15-minute levels. Late registration/re-entry is available until the start of Level 13.

Last Sunday’s turbo tournament saw a field of 199 entries generate a prize pool $22,230. John Duhig of Lithia, FL beat the field in record time — less than eight hours — to earn $4,668.

We’ll take a deeper dive into today’s 2 p.m. event a bit later. Until then… Good luck, players!
