Level 6: 300/500 with a 500 ante
Flight C Entries: 106

The Flight C entry counted jumped over 100 during the previous level and we’re climbing towards that next milestone to put $500,000 in the prize pool. That should happen before the end of the day plus a few others max late regging tomorrow before Day 2.

Bryce McVay is trying to bag today and not sweat it. He’s doing well this afternoon and aiming to add to an already impressive list of credits. McVay has wins here as well as our sister rooms in Tampa and Coconut Creek. He ran well in the Coconut Creek WSOP Circuit series earlier in the year with three cashes at three final tables where he posted a second, fourth, and fifth place finishes.

Most of our Deep Stack Poker Series grinders are from in-state or they are transient from one place to another. But a couple pros hopped down to Florida to warm up for the WSOP starting next week.

Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler made his way to South Florida for the super deep, super slow Main Event structure and grabbed his seat this afternoon. He has a nice record heading into the summer series with 54 WSOP cashes and over $1 million of his career $3.6 million earned coming during the series alone.

Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante
Flight C Entries: 86

Players returned to the poker room and action is back underway with another ten jumping in. The prize pool is now over $400,000 and heading towards $500,000.

The Main Event structure is so fine that it seems no one felt the need to get too frisky over the first three levels. There were no huge stacks to track down but SHRP regular Max Romano had the biggest. His 104,000 is just over a double starting stack and things will ramp up as the afternoon wears on.

The first break is upon us with 76 entries pushing the prize pool near $400,000. We’ll take a walk around the room and check for early big stacks while they are away from the tables.

Tables are opening one after another and the cash games are catching the tournament tables. It’s a good day to make your way down to the poker room.

Manny Minaya made a long drive to get here today. He’s a regular in the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa poker room but will make the trek across the state for our big tournaments. Minaya has a lot of wins on the resume but still looking for his first here. He has two Tampa Winter Poker Open titles plus a deep run in the Joe Hachem 2005 WSOP Main Event.

As expected, the $300,000 Guarantee Main Event hit the magic number before cards were in the air. And then they added a few.

The prize pool is now over $300,000 and it will continue to climb until registration closes at noon tomorrow when Day 2 kicks off.

Level 1: 100/100

This morning presents the last flight of the May Deep Stack Poker Series Main Event and the last chance to run up a stack for Day 2. The $1,650 buy-in tournament drew 188 combined entries over the first two flights to leave it only 12 entries away from making the $300,000 Guarantee.

It should get there before cards go in the air.

Players start with 50,000 deep stacks and all Day 1 levels run for 40 minutes. The blind levels will go to 60 minutes at the start of Day 2 and switch to 90 after the dinner break. And if players can’t build a big bag today, late registration is open until the start of Day 2 tomorrow at noon.

It will be a packed house on a holiday weekend Saturday, get to the poker room if you want in on the action.
