T.K. Miles was one of our max late reg players, entering the tournament last night after play was complete. He returned today with a 50K starting stack but he ran it up.
Miles picked up a bunch more when he opened to 12,000 from middle position, picked up one caller, and the button moved all in for 90,000. Miles called, the other player abandoned their chips and the cards were tabled.
Miles: 
Button: 
It was a flip and Miles was ahead with his pair of sixes. The dealer spread the 
board and his hand held to send one player out and build further.
T.K. Miles – 345,000 (69 bb)

Carlos Rodriguez limped from middle position, the players to his left shipped in for 56,000 and only Rodriguez came along.
Rodriguez: 
Opponent: 
Rodriguez had the bigger ace and it held on the 
flop. He paired his queen on the 
turn and leave his opponent drawing dead to the 
river.
The field is down to 81 players on nine tables. Still a lot of work to get done before the money bubble but they are getting there.
Carlos Rodriguez – 139,000 (28 bb)

Johnson: 
Calderaro:
“I didn’t want him to call!” Calderaro continued.
Johnson was way ahead with the bigger pair and the board came

Three starting flights of the $1,700 Deepest Stack tournament drew more than 400 entries to double the $300,000 guarantee and they aren’t quite done yet. Day 2 gets underway with 95 players returning but registration remains open until cards go in the air at noon.
So we’ll get a few more before we lock in the final number.
Naing Thu leads the return with Mike Chiappetta, Danny Fried, Howard Feingold, and Eric Bonin rounding out the top five. It’s a tough field coming back and it will be a long grind to get the title.
Blind levels increase to 60 minutes at the start of Day 2 and go up to 90 minutes with Level 23. Plenty of room to make moves.
