But FL seems to have become a hotbed for poker action since other areas in the US lagged behind opening up and offering games.
So we've been positively flooded with people from out of state playing, especially for various series, breaking records, etc.
Tampa has a WPT series coming up at the start of June and running for multiple weeks. They're finally moving the series to their event center because the poker room can't handle the crowds.
What sucks is that Event Center is on the opposite side of the property from the poker room (i.e. impacts bustouts easily wandering into a cash game) but it will hopefully reduce the issue of not enough cash tables because half of them were taken up for tournament players.
I just hope they can handle the crowds, it's going to be an absolute zoo (they're offering a $500 NLHE $1 million gtd and a $3500 with a $2 million guarantee) and I question whether they have enough dealers to run in the event center and the poker room, I'm assuming they'll be bringing in traveling dealers for the series, I don't believe they have enough local staff to meet the demand.
