Event 40: Carlos Chadha Sends the Remaining Field into the Money

$1,100 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 17:  3,000/6,000 with 6,000 ante
Players Remaining:  44 of 345

Before hand-for-hand play started in Event 40, a short-stacked player was all in for about 35,000 from the small blind with KcKh. Carlos Chadha was all in for 142,000 from the hijack with JdJc, and the player on the button had both covered with Ah5h.

The board ran out Jh7c6c2s8h, giving Chadha a set of jacks to double up, while eliminating the short stack to send the remaining 44 players into the money.

Ryan Brown

Time is running out to join the $1,100 Deep Stack with only a few minutes before the second break. The tournament has already tripled up the $100,000 guarantee.

We found an interesting pairing at Table 4 with Ryan Brown and Fred Paradis competing against either other once again. A few weeks ago, they were the last two players standing in the Tampa Poker Classic Championship, with Brown taking the title.
