$350 No Limit Hold’em Re-Entry ($150,000 Guaranteed)
Heading to Level 10: 600/1,200/200 Ante
Entries: 229
An unofficial 126 players are in the midst of their 40-minute dinner break on Day 1 of the Deep Stack Series $350 buy-in, $150,000 guaranteed opener. The field has grown from 148 following the first break to 229 now. That puts the tournament well ahead of pace to best the six-figure guarantee as the Friday and Saturday flights are expected to draw even larger fields.
Out in front of Flight A as the only player over 200,000 chips is Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez holds a stack of 225,000 and sits atop fellow big stacks Julio Lopez (170,000), Matthew Vetstein (165,000), Marcos Garcia (163,000), Trevan Hansen (140,000) and Erik Christensen (130,000).
Others still in contention heading to break include Joseph Bieger (107,000), Edward Mandel (95,000), Michael Newman (89,800), William Castro (67,000), Joel Harwood (48,300) and Victor Figueroa (46,000).
Cards go back in the air just after 6:10 p.m. local time. Players will then log six more levels of play before action concludes at roughly 10:25 p.m. We will touch base with you again at that time.
Those unable to make it out for today’s play are encouraged to enter Flight B Friday or Flight C Saturday. Day 2 of the event begins Sunday at noon.
