Brian Barros was one of our max late reg players, coming into Day 2 with 10 bigs and a dream. He found a good spot to get those chips in and Lyle Diamond had him at risk.

“Hey Kyle,” Barros yelled over to nearby Kyle Lazzaro. “We’re all in!”

Barros:
Diamond:

“Hey Kyle! We’re ahead!”

Barros had a great shot to double to 20 bigs but the dealer put a queen right in the window of the flop to give Diamond the lead. The turn and river finished the board and Barros’ spinup was cut short.

Lyle Diamond – 105,000 (26 bb)
Brian Barros  –  Eliminated

The $600 Deeper Stack No-Limit Hold’em tournament drew 288 entries over two starting flights to leave it one entry shy of surpassing its $150,000 guarantee. With registration open until cards go in the air for Day 2 at 11 am, it will definitely get there plus a few bonus entries on top.

Julio Delgado stormed ahead late in Flight B and bagged the overall chip lead with Mikhail Chykiliov the only other player at 500K. A lot of tough players remain and it will be a fun day of poker.

Blind levels now last 60 minutes and will increase to 90 minutes in Level 23.

We will post the final entry numbers and payout information after registration closes.

Day 1B Entries:  190

As the clock was ticking down, Myles Minns looked like a lock to bag the overall chip lead but then something happened.

“I made one mistake,” Minns said.

And that mistake sent a bunch of chips to Mikhail Chykiliov, who bagged an even 500,000 for a huge late-day surge.

But Chykiliov wasn’t the only one running hot, late in the flight. Julio Delgade, among the leaders for most of the day, grabbed the overall lead with 523,000.

Mike Chiappetta finished third with 415,000 followed by Lester Trimino (388,000), Minns (350,000), and Charlemagne Benjamin (350,000).

We will post the complete seat draw and chip count list as soon as it is available.
