Bryce McVay and Gil Aboodi are regulars at any major Seminole series. McVay resides on the west side of the state in Tampa while Aboodi is local to Hollywood. The pair each owns a victory at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and in Hollywood.

Aboodi most recently laid claim to a guitar trophy during Tampa’s Winter Poker Open, scoring more than $71,000 following a four-way chop in the $570. McVay, meanwhile, scored his most recent win in June of 2017 also in Tampa. It was during the property’s WPTDeepStacks series that he took first in a $250 Turbo for more than $12,000.

McVay and Aboodi are both in attendance today in the WSOP Circuit opener, and they hope to add a third Seminole property to their list of title locations in this one-day ring event.
