One of the first in-the-money casualties here on Day 2 of the Deep Stack Series $560 was seven-time Seminole Hard Rock tournament winner Daren Stabinski. While his 44th-place finish may not seem like much, it marks his third Deep Stack Series cashes in as many events.

Stabinski finished 48th in the $350 opener for $940. He then went on to finish runner-up that same night in the $150 Deep Stack Turbo for $2,331. With his 44th-place finish and $1,085 cash in today’s $560, Stabinski’s series earnings top $4,300.

There were 10 overnight entries bringing the total field to 434 with 101 remaining at shuffle up and deal. The action has been quick over today’s two opening levels with the first break underway now.

A quick stroll by Table 33 reveals start-of-day chip leader Francis Margaglione, who began with 829,500 chips (more than 300,000 clear of second place), has hit the skids to start Day 2. Margaglione’s stack was at about 475,000 last we checked and it appears to have worked to Robert Hodson’s benefit. Hodson, who sits three seats to Margaglione’s right, owns 1,000,000 chips and leads the way.

Cards go back in the air in just a few minutes with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and a 1,000 ante. The clock shows 61 players remaining with the top 45 finishing in the money.

Robert Hodson – 1,000,000
