$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 5: 150/300/50 Ante
Flight 1E Entries: 475

Flight E continues to move closer to 500 entrants for the early flight and they return from the break with 475 registered in the penultimate starting session.

Ido Ashkenazi built himself a nice lead in the first four levels, then picked up more chips on the first hand back from break. He four-bet shoved after an open and small all-in and his dominated to add more chips to his stack.

A deep run this weekend won’t be Ashkenazi’s first big result in a Showdown series. He won the $570 Double Black Chip Bounty event during the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown for $15,000 and the shiny trophy.

Joan Schank came back from the break to the second biggest stack with Blake Vita, Hayden Fortini, and Paul Balzano rounding out the top five.
