WPTDeepStacks Day 2 Recap

Thursday was another good day in the Poker Room and it sets up the WPTDeepStacks Tampa series for a big weekend. We ran two more flights of $360 buy-in/$250,000 Guaranteed Event 1 and the tournament is on a pace to fly by that number. With three of the seven starting flights locked up, we have 288 entries in the game with 41 players booking a seat in Day 2 on Sunday.

John Sellars was the big bag in Flight C and his 263,000 puts in second overall with a lot of action yet to come. Tampa winner Tom Nguyen was also among those advancing and we will post the entire list as soon as it is available.

In one-day trophy event news, the Pot Limit Omaha 8/Big O tournament is nearing its final table but they’ll have some work to do with only four getting paid. We will post the complete results first thing in the morning.

Tomorrow’s schedule is similar to today. We have two more flights of Event 1 running; one at 11 am and another at 6 pm. The non-hold’em game of the day is Event 4 with a $360 buy-in and Limit Omaha 8/Stud 8 mix to keep things interesting.
