Level 15: 1,200/1,600 with a 200 ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 63 of 275

With Level 15 coming to an end, it looked Joseph Skarzynski would take the overall lead with nearly 400,000. But he lost a few pots and dropped 297,000; still good enough for the end-of-flight lead among the 63 survivors and only a bit higher than Michael Cohen’s 295,000.

We will have all the official chip counts and seat assignments as soon as they are available.

Flight C Players Remaining: 63 of 275

With ten minutes remaining in the day, tournament staff paused the clock to play three more hands at all tables. But before that could happen, defending champ Rex Clinkscales was all in for 53,200 and he ran into a monster.

His was dominated by but the was kind. Clinkscales top two was best and stayed that way on the turn and river for his late day double.

Rex Clinkscales – 113,000

Level 13: 800/1,600 with a 200 ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 82 of 275

Action folded around to Trevor Hurst in the small blind and he accidentally raised. He tossed out 2,500 when he meant to only call and was forced to min-raise to 3,200. The big blind, described by Rex Clinkscales as “the tightest player at the table”, moved all in for 32,300

“Screw it,” Hurst said. “I call.”

Hurst:
Big Blind:

Hurst was on the verge of sending half of his stack to his neighbor but he paired the flop to get a yell from the table. The turn and river finished the board and Hurst sent the big blind out while taking some needles from the rest of the table.

The WPTDeepStacks cameras caught up with Randy Kiefer, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Director of Poker Operations, to talk about the series and our state-of-the-art poker room.
