Michial Drake began the opening weekend by taking home a $79,319 payout and James Kerr closed it out by earning more than $200,000 for winning the TPC Main Event.

The TPC Main Event headlined the series and drew players from around the world. The tournament attracted 959 entries for a prize pool that nearly reached $1.5 million and Kerr banked $228,038 after making a three-way deal.

The series had more than 3,500 entries over the eight tournaments, a fantastic turnout. Thank you to everyone who came out to make the 2021 Tampa Poker Classic such a huge success.
