Event 1: More Down; Anthony Casas Up

$600 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 20: 6,000/12,000 with a 12,000 ante
Players Remaining:  268 of 4,960

Anthony Casas

To give the pace some perspective, the math says Event 1 has lost an average of one player every 30 seconds since cards went in the air and that includes a 10-minute break where it wasn’t possible to lose a player. The action will have to slow down eventually but right now they are juicing the action.

Anthony Casas is another player on the better end of the deal, sitting with 910,000 in his stack with less than 30 minutes before the 1K color up break.

Event 1: Jake Schwartz and Mark Perry Climbing

Level 19: 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining:  328 of 4,960

Jake Schwartz

The field continues to shrink (while opening tables for Event 6) which means someone has to get chips while the payout line grows. Two more dangerous players are building chip castles including Jake Schwartz with 823,000 and Mark Perry with 790,000.

There’s still a lot of time left in the day to catch them but that won’t be an easy feat.

Event 1: David Vurgait Nearing One Million

$600 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 18: 4,000/8,000 with a 8,000 ante
Players Remaining:  396 of 4,960

David Vurgait

Farid Jattin isn’t the only one building a stack this afternoon and David Vurgait’s run might be even more impressive. While he has yet to top a million, his 925,000 at the moment is a great increase on the 185,000 he began with at the start of the day.

The field is down under 400 and there’s no slowing yet.
