The $10,000 Deep Stack drew an incredible 149 entries to the two-day tournament, the biggest non-Championship field at that price, and 35 players are still in the mix for the title.

High Roller Sam Soverel leads the group coming back but it’s a tough field trying to catch him. Their first order of business will be to hit the money bubble with 19 getting paid then the final table then the winner who will earn $385,850.

Cards go in the air at 1 pm and we will keep one eye on them while we concentrate on the Championship.
