There are just 4 players remaining in Event 12, today’s Deepstack Turbo event that started at 1pm. Play has been very tight for some time now, and unfortunately this has the effect of allowing the blinds to rise faster than the average stack, so in this particular case the chip average is just 6.5 times the big BB – which is to say – it’s not very deep at this point. A winner should emerge any time now.

They’ve reached the 10-handed final table of today’s tournament and the following 10 players have made it this far.

As play continues in the Main Event, at the other end of the Tournament Hall Event 12 has begun. This is a $70 + $10 Deepstack Turbo tournament. Late registration is open until 2:25pm and there are already 52 players in the event – so it’s looking like participation will be very strong for a weekday tournament!

Good luck to all of the players!
