Level 5: 600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante
Entries: 53

It certainly didn’t take long for a big number in the $1,100 Platinum Stack. Well before the first break, we put 53 entries in the game to surpass the $50,000 already with late reg available until 5:45 pm.

A lot of that is due to more than a few busting from the $1,700 Deepest Stack and rolling right to the other set of tables.
