Event 12: Up and Out

Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

It was quick start once cards were in the air with several eliminations before some were even in their seats. Justin Zaki, Dani Dayan, Peter Chin, and Zach Canu were early exits but Abbey Daniels avoided that fate.

She three-bet shoved after an open from Carlos Loving with a coin flip. Loving needed help for the knockout with AsJh against 6s6d but the board ran out Qd7h5d4d2d to give Daniels the hand.

Event 12: 59-to-1

Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

It could be a long day/night/morning here in the ballroom for the final day of the WPTDeepStacks event. Just 59 players remain in the $1,100 buy-in event of the 396 entrants who took part over the first two days. Just a few tables but the structure leaves them plenty of room to maneuver.

The event had a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool and that was quickly surpassed early yesterday. Just 36 of the returning players will earn a piece of the prize with a min-cash picking up $2,497 and the winner taking home over $100,000.

While there are plenty of big name, out-of-town pros remaining in the field, the top of the leaderboard is dominated by local grinders. Cody Ferguson leads them all with 510,000 followed by Stephen Diamantas, Carlos Loving, Jorge Rivera, and Joey Weissman.

Players are unbagging their chips and about to get underway. They will continue to reduce the field until all the remains is the first WPTDeepStacks champion of the season.
