Yaswin Gutha

The 2022 Tampa Poker Classic kicked off the series with a huge one-day event that brought out a great crowd on a Wednesday afternoon. Event 1 was a $300 buy-in tournament with a $50,000 guarantee and Yaswin Gutha capped it off with his first Tampa title after a six-way deal at the final table.

Event 1 drew a huge group of 415 entries to more than double the guarantee and create a prize pool worth $103,750. The last 42 players made some money and they burst the bubble shortly after the dinner break.

They played late into the evening and the last six players decided to divide up the remaining prize pool right down the middle. Gutha was the last chip leader of the tournament and took the top spot in the deal.

After several close calls, including four final tables and a third in December’s Winter Poker Open Black Chip Bounty, he walked away with his first Tampa trophy along with $11,074.

Congrats!
