Raminder Singh is having a rollercoaster of a time on Day 2. He came into the day with 347,000 and above average stack but dropped down to 19,000 no long after the restart.

Then up to 400K and now sitting with a little more than 200,000.

If anyone can make it work, it would be Singh. He is primarily known in the Seminole Poker circles as the player with the most all-time major wins at our sister property in Hollywood with ten (plus another handful of titles in the poker room).

But Singh also owns three major Tampa titles, including two wins during the WPT Tampa series last year. There’s also the matter of a very unique accomplishment; Singh is one of three players who have won a major tournament at three of the Seminole Poker properties when you add his Coconut Creek RunGood Poker Series Main Event win in 2021.

The $2,200 Deep Stack has an excellent turnout this afternoon, and the $75,000 guarantee was reached with plenty of time to increase the prize pool.

We caught two former Tampa Main Event/Championship winners in the field, warming up for tomorrow’s big game. Matthew Leecy won the 2019 Tampa Poker Classic headliner and Paul Snead took the same title in 2022. Leecy has an additional big Tampa win; he also captured the Pinktober Poker Open Championship in 2022.

As expected, action is moving right along and we lost a bunch of players to the payout desk after cards went back in the air. They are making their way through Level 16 and will take the first break when it’s done.

After that, levels lasts 40 minutes and they will settle into the long grind to a winner.

Woodrow Pass is the only player in today’s field with chips and a payout ticket at the same time. The Tampa regular bagged up 110,000 in Flight B and said “I can do better.” And Pass did that by finishing Flight E with 137,000 and taking advantage of the best-stack-forward format.

Pass has a $430 payout ticket waiting for his official 99th-place finish and still working to earn another Tampa trophy with his bigger stack. He already owns a half dozen titles, including a few of those sweet guitars, and won events during the Summer Poker Open, Pinktober Poker Open, and Tampa Poker Classic.

Cards are in the air for Day 2 of SPS Event 9 with 98 players in action and everyone in the money. Jose Hernandez leads with James Tomblin not far behind.

The will play out the last eight minutes of Level 14 before blinds go up to 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante. Levels will also increase to 40 minutes at the start of Level 17.

The last multi-flight tournament before the SPS Championship drew 973 entries. The $200 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament easily beat its $100,000 guarantee and put up $164,437 in prize money with $28,850 up top for the Event 9 winner.

Not a bad return on investment.

99 players advanced to Day 2 this afternoon at 2 pm, and they are all in the money. Only 98 will take a seat because Woodrow Pass bagged twice and will receive a min-cash in 99th and play his biggest stack.

We expect fast action right out of the gates and stay that way until we have a winner.

Top ten returning stacks:

1. Jose Hernandez – 480,000 (96 bb)
2. James Tomblin – 456,000 (91 bb)
3. Daniel Zucker – 444,000 (89 bb)
