Stewart Scoops vs. Manjura
Level 6
: 200/500, 500 ante
The turned board read 
and there was around 6,500 in the pot. Rob Manjura threw in a bet and Carson Stewart moved all in for 14,700.
Manjura called, tabling 
for top two but it was no good as Stewart turned over 
for a set of aces. The river gave both players a boat but Stewart took down the pot with his higher full house, scooping in the pot for a complete double.

Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club to live report the $1,100 Main Event, but this is just one of several tournaments on the HPT Daytona Beach schedule. For the past week, the venue had played host to a series of side events, and we wanted to take a moment to recognize the lucky winners from those tournaments.
Event #3: $165 NLH Seniors 50+ had 108 entrants create a $15,121 prize pool. That was paid out amongst the top 13 players. Those who cash but fell shy of making the final table were James McDaniel (10th - $378), Michael Kissling (11th - $340), Joseph Russo (12th - $340), and Jason Hoffman (13th - $340).
Speaking of the final table, that is where the tournament came to an end as the final nine players all worked a deal. Eight of them received $1,490 in prize money while Saied Zamiri of Ormond Beach, Florida was deemed champion and took home a $1,800 top prize.
