Play is underway following the first break in Event 3 of the Deep Stack Series. With the clock showing 121 entries, the combined field sits at 303 and the $150,000 guarantee is officially a thing of the past.

The tournament’s early chip leader is Allen Turner. Turner has enjoyed some good fortune and seen his stack grow from 40,000 starting to 114,000 as of now. Joining Turner as an even headliner is Steve McKoy. Less than 24 hours ago, McKoy bested 1,075 in the Deep Stack Series opener to pocket nearly $50,000.

Here’s a look at some of the notable stacks from around the room and their approximate chip counts:
