The players in Day 1E are on a break, and following this break registration will be closed – for this flight and for the entire WPTDeepStacks event.
The leaders going into the final 3 levels of this Turbo flight are mostly hovering around the 100K mark – except for Timothy Banks, who has amassed almost 150K!
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Timothy | Banks | 142,800 |
| Thanh | Phu | 104,500 |
| Daniel | Andrei | 97,600 |
| Foad | Larki | 90,400 |
The tournament hasn’t been a break during which we could get a complete picture of the current leaderboard, but a survey of the tables in play suggests that Matt Durand is the current chip leader with a stack approaching 80K so far. There are many others who have built up healthy stacks as well, and the nature of such a Turbo flight is that the volatility increases as players get closer to the end of late registration.
Here are a few photographs of the action in Day 1E of the WPTDeepStacks. There are currently 67 entries in the event including 2 re-entries. Play is already into level 4 in the tournament.
Play has now begun in Day 1E of the WPTDeepStacks event, and just a few minutes in to level 1 there are 37 entries at the tables – and climbing. This Turbo flight will effectively serve two roles in the tournament – first, to keep growing the prize pool that players will be competing for in the event, and to give players a final chance to qualify for Day 2, set to begin at 3:00pm.
Good luck to everyone playing this morning!
The final starting flight in the $1,500 + $150 WPTDeepStacks event in the 2018 WPT Montreal Festival is set to begin at 10:00am, just minutes from now. The event has already seen 775 entries join the fray through the first 4 Day 1s – easily surpassing the guarantee – which means that every single buy-in today will simply add money to the prize pool.
The Turbo flight will play through the same number of levels as the “regular” flights – 12 – and will start with the same 30,000 starting stack. However, each level will be just 15 minutes in length, and there will be a single break following level 9. Registration will close at the end of this break – until that time, players are permitted one entry and one re-entry.
There are already 229 players qualified for Day 2 in the event, which will get underway at 3:00pm this afternoon. A seating draw will be made available as soon as it is available.
Good luck to everyone playing today.
