The first week of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Winter Poker Open wrapped up in the early morning hours with the final two flights of Event 4. Flights C and D combined for 285 more entries to push the Event 4 total up to 508.
Of those starters, only 68 players qualified for Day 2 and 54 of them will walk away tomorrow with something for their efforts. The prize pool blew past the $50,000 guarantee and the Event 4 winner will walk away with more than $14,000 along with the guitar trophy and 2016 WPO Championship seat.
Devaraj Munisekar (pictured above) bagged up a huge lead after Flight B and his advantage held through the last two. His 426,400 is well clear of the rest of the field but that is no guarantee of success.
Event 4 will restart at noon but there are two other options available on the schedule for those who missed Day 2 (or bust early in the restart).
Event 5 kicks off at 11am with a popular $250 Pot Limit Omaha tournament featuring a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool. Event 6 runs later in the day at 6pm and is a $250 Big Stack No Limit Hold’em tournament with another $15,000 guaranteed prize pool
There are plenty of options for those looking for Wednesday poker action and we’ll be here once again watching them all.
