In addition to the five-figure payday, the winner of the event pockets a $1,650 Deep Stack Event #4 seat added courtesy of the Seminole Hard Rock. Additionally, each of the 10 unofficial final tablists head home with a $560 Deep Stack Event #3 seat.

Leading the way to start is Flight A’s Hector Navas. Navas, who’s yet to show for the restart, burst into the lead bagging a 709,000-chip stack right away and is the only player over the 700,000 mark. Joining him at the top of the counts and at his Day 2 table are second and third in chips David Albertson (604,000) and Ismael Patel (585,500). The trio tops the counts and finds themselves facing off against one another at Table 37.
