Flight A made it down to the “final” table of the day, not the final final table of the tournament but the last nine players trying to advance to Day 2. Six of these players will be disappointed while five of them move on.
Jack Ranallo seems to be running over the competition. He has nearly a quarter of the chips in the play to leave a lot of short stacks.

Day 1A Entries: 44
Nashaat Antonious was down short in the last level before registration closed but went on a heater. First he cracked the kings of Tony March, the chips going in after the 
flop. His 
was good to double him up near starting stack.
On the next hand, March was all in for 10,300 and Julio Delgado raised it up. Antonious called all in for 25,200 for a three-way all-in pot.
Antonious: 
Delgado: 
March: 
Most of the table was pulling for March even as he stood up from his seat. Things got a little exciting when the dealer put a nine on the 
flop but that was as close as March would get after the turn came 
followed by the 
river.

Level 7: 400/800 with a 800 ante
Day 1A Entries: 43
It’s a pretty casual Wednesday afternoon in the Poker Room, the mid-week mellow with some nice money on the line. With 43 entries, we have a lot of people matched up at the same table including two Tampa Poker legends.
Wally Maddah and Karl Manouchakian began the series as the players with the most cashes in our room. Both had 80 trips to the payout cage, the most of any player in our history with a 20 cash gap down to third place. That is not an insignificant distance.
Maddah took the lead over Manouchakian this weekend when he picked up his 81st cash in Event 2. The two are seated together today and Maddah recently cracked the aces of Manouchakian with big slick, making Broadway on a double-paired board.

October 19, 2021
The Limit Omaha 8 tournament on the Pinktober Poker Open schedule had a nice turnout with 53 entries playing some split-pot hands. The tournament quickly played down to the final table where Jean Laurent took over and took the top spot after a four-way deal.
The tournament more than doubled its $3,000 guarantee and put $6,360 in the prize pool. The last six spots paid so they still had some work to get done after making the final table.
Christopher Labrie and David Tillberg were sent out after the bubble burst and the last four quickly reached a deal to split the remaining prize money. Laurent held a big lead and took $2,000 in the deal while Donnie McBrayer, Frank Kovarick, and Jordan Joeckel each earned $1,192.
Results:
1st: Jean Laurent – $2,000 *
