It was another exciting week – the 12th week of the Elite Tampa Bay Poker League!
At the feature table, shortly before the first break and the end of rebuys, Clive Gavin was all for the second time in ten minutes putting max pressure on Joe Steur. Joe found a fold and Clive showed his two pair.
Matty Ice was all in after break with KK, Clive called with A5o. An Ace in the window made the table groan but a K on the river saved Matt.
Cecil opened 2k at 400/800. Karl pondered and raised to 5500, Cecil called. By the river they were all in Karl TT>Cecil 88.

With 8 weeks left Ray Mancini’s consistent play has moved him up to 1st on the season leaderboard! Evan holds on the second place and Tom McDonald, Andra Zachow & Karl Man round out the top 5 one point apart from each other! With, most likely, 9 Main Event seats it’s going to be a race to the end!!
