Stuart Greenbaum

We’ve played through three starting flights of the May Deep Stack Poker Series $1,700 headline event plus a long Day 2. The tournament reached the final table of eight players late on Sunday and they return this after at 2 pm to play down to a champion.

SHRP regular Stuart Greenbaum took the lead late and comes back for Day 2 as the big stack at the final table. Rafiki Brown and Tony Cappadona are also sitting comfortably but the 90-minute levels mean no one is in immediate danger.

They have 85:42 remaining in Level 25 with blinds at 20,000/40,000 and a 40,000 ante and the average stack is 2,490,000 (62 bb).
