$300 + $50 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack

Blinds: 4k/8k/500

Players hit the breaks with 110 players left in the tournament while staffed stalked the tables waiting for one more knockout to go into hand-for-hand play. It stayed that way for nearly a full level and when the damn broke, hand-for-hand was unnecessary.

Two short stacks were eliminated on opposite ends to the room at the same time. Staff stopped the action to officially count down the field and that number was 108 remaining putting them all in the money. Min-cash is $543 while the winner will pick up $78,300.

After a short round of applause, they are back at it in Level 19. The short stacks who limped into the money will now try to double up or cash out while the leaders in the room try to increase their stack for a final table run.

“Gambling baby!” was all Dan Suied could say after knocking out an opponent on Table 33. Suied raised from the small blind after action folded around and the 4-seat moved all-in over the top. Suied had him covered and called with the powerful which were live against . King-high was good on the flop but Suied hit the turn and river to send another home.

The rest of his table just laughed and shook their heads.

In the meantime, Andres Jara has quietly built his initial Day 2 stack of 146,600 to now sit with over 700,000. The local has been sitting at Table 39 since the start of play and picking off one short stack after another.

Richard Blanchard was in a great position to double up. His preflop raise with was called by Albert Eskenazi in the big blind and Blanchard moved all-in after the flop. Eskenazi eventually called and told Blanchard he was good before tabling .

“I thought you had AK,” Eskenazi said just before the hit the turn followed by the two out on the river.

“That’s ok,” Blanchard responded, “we all know you can’t fold a hand.”

A few short stacks have dropped early but the bigger stacks in the room are staying away from each other as the field crawls towards the money. Marvin Young continues to lead at the end of the first level and with less than 180 remaining. All downstairs table will be broken, leaving only the upstairs tables in play, before we begin to see the money bubble strategies emerge.
