| The 2017 Florida State Poker Championships Main Event trophy |
Tournament Director Ralph Brandt just made the rules announcement for the early arrivals in the field, and the cards are in the air for the 2017 Florida State Poker Championships $1,500 Main Event. Players in this event are treated to one of the top "major" structures in the area, with starting stacks of 30,000 units, and Day 1 levels that are (50) minutes in length (transitioning to 60 minutes on Day 2+). Registration is open throughout each of the opening flights, with players also able to enter the tournament on Sunday (Day 2), prior to the first card in the air.
This tournament last year was the same price point ($1,500) and guarantee ($500,000), and ended up with (431) entries. The official prize pool closed at $581,850, with a good chunk of that total awarded to Sam Panzica, who took home $117,282 and the trophy. This prestigious event has also been won by Joseph Couden (2015), Qasim Jamhour (2014), Hans Winzeler (2013), and Brandon Barnes (2012).
Today begins the journey towards the 2017 winner, which will be covered each and every day, from first card to bagging process. We will take a look at yesterday's satellite winners, before delving into the notables that are currently in this early field.
