Kamoru Yusuf

The third break has come and gone and the black chips are out of play. With 189 players remaining, they still have a lot of work to get done before they can start thinking about the end of the day when 82 are left.

Kamoru Yusuf is the big stack so far after 10x-ing his starting stack up to 210,500 for the lead heading into the late stages of the day.

Scott Levitt

We mentioned Jake Ferro earlier and his run during the WPT RRPO Championship and we found another local who also had a deep finish. Hollywood regular Scott Levitt was among the top stacks for the latter parts of the tournament but a run of bad luck saw him settle for a 13th place finish for $48,900.

Not where he wanted but making the last two tables of a WPT event is always a great result.

Jake Ferro

We found Jake Ferro taking part in the first tournament of the series and he had a big run in the last tournament in the ballroom. The WPT RRPO Championship drew 1,566 entries and Ferro outlasted all but Gediminas Uselis. He finished second for $573K, a pretty decent consolation prize, and that result helped push him to become the new WPT Player of the Year.

T.K. Miles

Flight A hit 500 entries after the break and taking a fast cruise towards 600 with minimal effort. We are looking at a huge start to the tournament and series.

T.K. Miles is heading into 2022 hoping to continue his heater from the end of 2021. After seven cashes during this WSOP in November, he went to our sister room in Tampa for their Winter Poker Open and shipped the Main Event for more than $200K.

Jeff Silverstein

Action is back underway after the break and they added enough during that time to push the Flight A entry total over 500. And they still have more than two hours to run it up.

Jeff Silverstein is back in the ballroom a few months from a big opening event run during the RRPO series. That tournament drew 6,196 entries for the biggest tournament field in state history and Silverstein outlasted most of them to finish in 13th place.

Michael Newman

We closed out 2021 with our traditional Fun in the Sun series over the last few days of the year. Five tournaments with a lot of chips and a ton of money.

Turns out we had five really familiar faces take home trophies and three of them are here in early action.

Michael Newman won the opening $400 Deep Stack tournament, Marty Robbins finished off the series with a win in the $250 Holiday Deep Stack, and former SHRP Player of the Year Ory Hen took the Main Event title in between. Ducarmel Beaubien and Alcides Gomez rounded out the list of winners and we expect to see them early in this series.

A few familiar faces include Mark Cannon, Larry Klur, Jennifer David, Eric Piderit, and Caleb Piderit.
