Level 17: 3,000/6,000

The log jam in Event 2 has been cleared and it was Kevin Spires who left without any official money from the prize pool. His crucial hand was doubling up David White when his starting behind and never caught up.

There was a brief time where it looked like White was not paid the correct amount but it was fixed and Spires was all-in shortly afterwards.

He had just over a pot-sized bet and got them all-in against John Brennan.

Brennan hit the flop and Spires was unable to pair his big cards on the turn or river. He leaves with out a payout ticket but the players decided on a small save for the bubble.

Level 16: 3,000/6,000

All previous action indicates this tournament should be well into the money by now but the seven remaining players made it to the next break without an elimination.

They are off on a quick 10-minute color-up break and will return to blinds at 3,000/6,000.

Level 15: 2,000/4,000

David White was getting short and found a good hand to get back in the game. He opened for a pot-sized bet with Kevin Spires and John Brennan coming along to the flop.

After Brennan checked, White put in his last 9,500 and Spires moved-all over the top. Brennan seemed unhappy with the move and asked the floor staff how they handled it if two players went out on the same hand on the bubble.

“Most chips to start the hand,” as “Country”s reply.

Brennan folded before White showed ahead of Spires’ .

The turn and river blanked to give White more than a double.

After blasting down from 10 players to the money bubble, the seven remaining players slowed down to buck the usual post-dinner madness and went the entire first level back with only one all-in called.

That ended with Ken Bruno and David White chopping a pot with Aces for an anticlimactic hand.

Blinds are up but might be in for the long haul but the average stack is now holding just over 20 big blinds.

Level 5: Blinds 150/300/25 ante

While we focus on the Event 2 Pot Limit Omaha final table, Flight B of Event 1 has built up to 225 entrants as they head off on their firs break.

A quick walk through the field found some Seminole Hard Rock poker regulars including Robert Campbell, Paula Barros, Michael Ortiz, and former WPT Player of the Year Mukul Pahuja.

Level 13: Blinds 1,200/2,400

There was no slowing down the final table even with the money bubble approaching.

It was three-handed to the flop with Marc Kropf (Miami, FL) already all-in when Bruce Freedman (Plantation, FL) also moved all-in. Ken Bruno (Lake Worth, FL) had them both covered and called to put them both at risk.

Freedman:
Kropf:

“I thought I had the nuts,” Freedman stated incorrectly.

The turn/river finished to send the entire pot to Bruno, knock two players out, and put the tournament on the money bubble.

The remaining six players are off on a quick, 30-minute dinner break before returning to find a champion.

Level 13:  Blinds 1,200/2,400

They reached the final ten players, then drew for seats and moved to the final table.  Soon after play resumed, Zack Milchman (Del Ray, FL) got his short-stack in against Ken Bruno and was busted, bringing them down to nine players.  Only the final six will get paid, so there’s still a ways to go.

Here are the final 9 with rough chip counts:

Seat  Player  (Hometown)  Chips

1. Bruce Freedman (Plantation, FL) 24k
2. Don Todd (Davie, FL) 35k
3. Matthew Lombardi (Long Island, NY) 180k
4. Joey Prosper (Miami, FL) 58k
5. John Brennan (Parrish, FL) 152k
6. David White (Boca Raton, FL) 40k
7. Ken Bruno (Lake Worth, FL) 64k
8. Marc Kropf (Miami, FL) 35k
9. Kevin Spires (W Palm Beach, FL)  88k

Average stack is ~73k.

They’ll finish level 13, then take a dinner break.

Flight A of Event 1 has come to a close as players get the last four hands out of the way. Unofficially there are 65 players surviving from the starting of the 336 who started.

Nissin Vaknin appears to be the end of flight leader but we will have all the numbers once staff have them crunched. Among those 65 survives were Tristan Wade, Angel Vu, and Errol Massey but Marsha Wolak and Zach Kessler will have to wait for another shot.
