Day 2 of the $600 Deepstack Set to Commence
Welcome back to Event #9: $600 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack. Today was originally scheduled to award a WSOP bracelet to one of the 582 players who made it through yesterday’s 20 levels of play, but due to the huge turnout, a third and final day has been scheduled for tomorrow, June 5th. The eventual winner will receive $398,281 in prize money – a huge return on a $600 investment.
All players return in the money but face a long run to the finish line ahead of them. In pole position chip-wise is experienced Canadian player Paul Dhaliwal whose 1,612,000 chips provide considerable room to maneuver as the starting blinds will be 8,000/16,000 with a 16,000 big blind ante.
Still in the field with slightly more modest stacks are the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Scott Davies, and Erik Seidel, mixed in with a competitive and international field of pros and amateurs – survivors from the bumper 6,150-strong starting field.
Live reporting commences with today’s “shuffle up and deal” at noon.
