The $200 Bounty field is heading on their first break with 160 entries in the tournament and only a couple dozen new ones away from surpassing the $30,000 guarantee.

That’s a lock with registration available until 7:30 pm so we’re looking at another great field for a Deep Stack Poker Series event.

Ronnie Morone

We have a great turnout in the early evening on a Wednesday. Event 2 has 126 entries so far, a big crowd considering they only have one re-entry option, and it looks like they’ll crush the $30,000 guarantee later this evening.

Some early friends include Ronnie Morone, Kevin Dubrocq, Pasquael Caiazza, Willie Wiggins, Luis Dominguez, Santana Noronha, Trent Smith, Michael Russo, and our all-time trophy winner, Raminder Singh.

In the far corner, the $400 Multi-Event satellite is down to its final table after getting a huge 85-entry field. Joel Harwood is still in the mix over there and trying to pick up one of the $3,700 packages.

We have another multi-event satellite tomorrow, this one going at 6 pm with a $150 buy-in and two $1,250 packages guaranteed. Package includes a seat in $400 buy-in/$100,000 guarantee Event 3 and $600 buy-in/$150,000 guarantee Event 5 plus $250 in cash.

Tons of value.

Raminder Singh

The Slater Scoops gang made it through 12 levels with open registration but we closed the books when they returned from the second break. The clock shows an unofficial 381 entries in the field, but there are still some numbers to crunch to pull up our final tally.

We found another local legend (the entire state, to be fair) with Raminder Singh trying to add more hardware. He has an entire room full of poker trophies, including 16 titles from our major series. Singh earned his biggest career cash when he outlasted the 1,188-entry field to take the 2024 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship for $486,353.
