Today's Ante Up Poker Tour Main Event in the Silks Poker Room at Tampa Bay Downs is the culmination of a six-event series that's been taking place all week long.
Things kicked off on Monday with EVENT #1: $160 No-Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD), a tournament that drew 176 entrants and more than doubled the guarantee by creating a $21,472 prize pool.
Some players to cash Event #1 but fail to make the final table were Susan Berman (11th - $418), K.C. Knoch (13th - $344), Sean Turow (16th - $288), and Bob Kelly (18th - $288).
The tournament ultimately came to an end when the final six players agreed to a chop. As a result of it, Steve Rauchut and Casey Wiggins finished first and second for $3,750 apiece.

Mark Winchell opened for 1,500 under the gun and Shane Wagers called from early position. Another player flatted before Matt Quirk came along from the small blind to make it four-way action to the flop.
All players checked, the dealer burned and turned the , and Quirk led out for 2,200. That's all it took as one by one the trio of players behind him folded their hands.

Justin Coltharp raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and Jordan Robinson called out of the small blind to see a flop.
Robinson checked and Coltharp continued for 3,100. Robinson then woke up with a check-raise to 8,100 and Coltharp made the call to see the turn.
Robinson moved all in for 13,400 and Coltharp thought for a bit before calling off for 11,500.
"I just have a big draw," Robinson said before the cards were turned up.
Robinson:
Coltharp:
Indeed, Robinson held a double belly buster straight draw, a flush draw, and two overs. Unfortunately for him, he missed as the bricked the turn to give Coltharp the double.

With around 50,000 already in the middle and a board reading , the player in the big blind moved all in for right around 24,000 and Donnie Kidman, who barely had him covered, snap-called.
Big Blind:
Kidman:
The big blind had flopped a wheel but Kidman, who had flopped bottom set, made quads on the river to swipe the six-figure pot.
