    WPTDeepStacks – Day 1C is in the books

    2018/11/02 | 21:31 by Playground Poker

    The third of five WPTDeepStacks flights has officially come to a close with 97 players qualifying for Day 2 action. Today’s Day 1C chip leader was Frederick Normand with 276,500 chips. He is followed closely behind by Mark Klimchuk with 275,600 and Day Christopher Rivard, who bagged up 252,500. These three stacks were good for 2nd to 4th overall through 3/5 starting flights.

    There were 294 entries (including 49 re-entries) in Day 1C during the 8 levels of late registration that was available to players. Of that number, there were 97 new qualifiers for Day 2 action, and they have been added to the Combined Day 1 Results page. There are still two more “regular” Day 1 flights remaining, including Day 1D, on now, plus tomorrow’s Turbo Day 1 at 10:00am.

    Today’s qualifiers will return for Day 2 action at 3:00pm on Saturday.

    We are now three quarters the way through the Day 1C flight, and the players have just returned to their seats following their last 15 minute break.

    The next closest stack, of the remaining 154 entries, was Christopher Rivard with a stack of 157,000 chips.

    At table 84 Ryan McKnight raised to 1,700, preflop. Steve Rioux, Patrick Eskandar, and Aaron Massey all called.

    When the flop came down 5 of Hearts King of Clubs 4 of Diamonds, Ryan, the low stack at the table bet 2,500. Steve and Aaron tossed in their cards. Patrick studied Ryan, and called. But when the 3 of Hearts was dealt on the turn, Ryan checked, and Patrick pounced. He wagered 6,300… enough to bust his opponent. Ryan peeked at his hole cards, and regarded the pot, before returning his hand to the dealer.

    At the end of level 6, Aaron Scott raised to 1,000 preflop. Muhammed Abdel-Rahim, sitting two seats to Aaron’s left, called, as did Eric Ranger, who was sitting two seats to his right.

    When the flop came down 7 of Hearts 6 of Spades 6 of Hearts, Aaron wagered another 1,000, and both Muhammed and Eric called again. When the dealer flipped the turn 6 of Clubs, both Aaron and Eric checked. Muhammed regarded the pot that now contained close to 7,000 chips, and pushed 2,000 more towards the center.

    Eric immediately folded. Aaron peeked at his cards, and after shaking his head, returned his hand back to the dealer.
