Total Prize Pool: $16,320

RECAP

Retired painting contractor and former pro bowler Wayne Wadulak (Port Richey, FL) came back from being all-in as the short stack to having the most chips of the final three players and commanding the largest share of a three-way chop.  Wadulak has been playing poker (mostly tournaments) professionally for about 3 years and has definitely seen some results.   Today’s Turbo NLH event netted him $3,346 and his first official ‘win’ here at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa.

The other two players involved in the chop took equal shares, so position was determined by their chip counts.  Josh Rose finished 2nd for $2,896 and Tony March took 3rd and $2,896.  This was March’s second cash of the day.  He made Day 2 of Event 1 and finished that event in 32nd place ($980) before jumping into this Turbo, which wrapped up in under 9 hours while Event 1 was still going on.  March says this is his 10th straight tournament cash.

The $15,000 guarantee on this event was covered with 136 entrants, the final 18 of which earned a cut of the total $16,320 prize pool.

Wally Maddah, who finished 7th, also booked his second cash in one day.  He finished 63rd in Event 1 before signing up for this event and making the final table.
