Heading to Level 13: 3,000/6,000 Limits
Players Remaining: 21 of 92
The remaining 21 players in today’s 12pm Omaha/8 tournament are on a 40-minute dinner break. Cards go back in the air just before 7:15pm and they’ll need to lose nine more players before the final 12 are in the money. We will pick up this event again once the bubble bursts and the final table nears.

Level 2: 50/100
Flight D Entrants: 188
Shaundra Seay has doubled up early after her kings bested the aces of an unknown player on a king-high flop. Seay owned 
and was in good shape versus the 
after the dealer laid a 
flop. The pair got the last of Seay’s chips in the pot and her set held to double through the opponent.
With that, she now holds more than twice starting stack early in Level 2.
Shaundra Seay – 45,000

Flight C Players Remaining: 108 of 409
Flight C is in the last level of the day with more than 100 still around with a chance to put some chips in a bag. We’ll see a decent drop out rate over the next 30 minutes as short stacks try to double up or bust/re-load in Flight D.
Jason Bral is among the nice group of players we’re seeing coming to town from abroad, all looking for a chunk of the opening event money.

Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 Ante
Flight C Players Remaining: 126 of 409
Once registration closed on Flight C, the field quickly lost a huge chunk of the field to leave only 126 still around at the final break. We expect to get down near 80 players remaining by the time they bag up for the night at the end of Level 14.
WSOP Circuit winner Kenny “SuperTuan” Nguyen is still around but he has some work to do to build a baggable stack. He has over $1 million in career earnings including $163,000 for a televised WPT final table during the 2009 WPT Borgata Poker Open.

Level 8: 800/1,600 Limits
Entrants: 86
The Omaha/8 tournament is approaching the second break of the day and registration will close when they return. They have 86 entries into the game and we expect a few more before they close the books.
Joel Harwood’s first bullet did not end well but we don’t doubt he can run the second one up to a nice score. And he has some history behind him.
Harwood, father of two-time WSOP bracelet winner Loni Harwood, has a final table appearance in the Omaha/8 tournament during four of the last five major SHRP series. The most exciting one came when he finished in third place during the 2015 SHRPO Omaha/8 event but had most of his attention online following along from afar as Loni won the WSOP National Championship at the same time.

Flight C Entrants: 409
With a late rush in Level 8, Flight C continued the trend of loading up more than 400 entrants per flight. It’s another good number with 409 entries locked into the third flight with five more big ones to come.
They will play six more levels today, with one more break in between, and stop at the end of Level 14.

Flight C Entrants: 386
Level 8 is here and it’s the last chance for players to get in this flight. They’ll go on a break when the level is complete, take a 15-minute break, then return with the registration desk closed for this session.
But players still have tonight’s 6pm flight and four more this weekend.
Jason Gooch is back from his travels around the country, since September he has results from Pittsburgh to Colorado to Mississippi and back here in Florida where he had a deep run in the final event of the 2016 Coco Poker Open a few weeks ago.

Players have less than one hour to make their way down to the ballroom for a piece of today’s early action. Registration will close after the second break and then we’ll have our Flight C numbers.
Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Ambassador Wally Maddah is back for another shot at a Day 2 bag and the newly-bearded pro is trying to put together a nice stack. During his last visit on this side of the state, he final table the $360 Pot Limit Omaha event during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.
Among his big list of results, Maddah had quite the accomplishment in the 2014 SHRPO series. He came back with a shorter stack for Day 2 in the $150 multi-day event and decided to fire up that day’s $200 Big Stack event. Not only did Maddah put his short stack in the money, he made the last two tables for a nice result in 15th place.
But that wasn’t all he was doing. Maddah still had his seat in the $200 tournament at the same time and spent his entire day playing two different tournaments. He took that stack all the way to 14th place for a pretty incredible one day, double cash.
