$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 25: 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 103 of 5,018
Wally Maddah began the day with just 57,000 chips, one of the shortest stacks in the Day 2 starting field. He’s still in contention with just over 100 players left, though he hasn’t exactly had an easy day.
Maddah has been at or below 10 big blinds since the start, and he was under five bigs for a while earlier this level. The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Ambassador did find a double-up a moment ago, with his ace-ten holding against an opponent’s queen-jack to bump him back up to 10 big blinds once again.
The day-long struggle to stay afloat has been a mighty one for Maddah, but he’s still all smiles as he continues to grind away with a short stack.
Wally Maddah – 395,000 (10 bb)
