With level 1 already underway we have almost reached 100 entries in this evening’s WPTDeepStacks Day 1D event already. Anyone who survives the twelve 40-minute levels will have a chance to return on Day 2, occurring tomorrow, Saturday November 3 at 3pm, for a chance to win part of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
See below for some photos of the competitors who have already started playing.
At table 84 Ryan McKnight raised to 1,700, preflop. Steve Rioux, Patrick Eskandar, and Aaron Massey all called.
When the flop came down 
, 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 
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.
Day 1D of the $1,500 + $150 WPTDeepStacks event just kicked off a few minutes here ago at Playground Poker Club. This is the fourth of five WPTDeepStacks flights this week. In addition to today’s action there will be a Turbo Day 1E tomorrow at 10:00am, Saturday November 3rd.
Players will start the evening with 30,000 tournament chips and the WPTDeepStacks competitors will play through twelve levels, 40 minutes each. There will be breaks following every 3rd level on each Day 1, but no dinner break in this evening’s flight.
Because this is a multiple re-entry event players will be permitted one entry and one re-entry. Late registration will be available until the beginning of level 10, or at approximately 12:30am.
Good luck to everyone playing – the cards are now in the air!
The players are currently wrapping up level 8 and will be taking their next 15 minute break after level 9. There are still 186 entries remaining in this flight. There have been 277 total entries in Day 1C, including 38 re-entries. The average stack size currently sits at 44,600 and late registration will continue for another hour.
Here are some photos from the action occurring during level 8.
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 
, Aaron wagered another 1,000, and both Muhammed and Eric called again. When the dealer flipped the turn 
, 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.
