Day 2 of the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Winter Poker Open is in the books and all tournaments are closed down for the evening.
Event 1 ran two more flights of the $350 buy-in, $150,000 guaranteed prize pool tournament adding another 204 entries into the game. Karl Manouchakia, Tommy Nguyen, Dmitry Agrachov, and Steve Trizis were only a few of our regulars booking their spot in Day 2 along 34 total for the day.
Event 2 was a special tournament limited to our female competitors. The $150 buy-in Ladies Event drew 40 entries and tournament staff added a $1,650 WPO Championship to the winner. Kirsten Olieberg (pictured above) outlasted them all to earn her first guitar trophy.
Day 3 presents the final two flights of Event 1 and we expect big crowds to show up for both the afternoon and evening runs. They should hit the $150,000 in the first flight and begin pushing the prize pool higher.
We’ll be here all day long once again, bringing all the action from start to finish.
