"daltonhb" Bags Lead in WPTDeepStacks Main Event with $184,320 Up Top

The second day of the WPTDeepStacks London Online Main Event has come to an end, having the original 1,024 entries turn into just the final table of nine. Day 2 began with 175 runners and when the last chance saloon had closed for business, it was Brazil's "daltonhb" sitting atop the leaderboard, having the statistical best shot at taking home the $184,320 first-place money.

The Brazilian shot to the top during the latter stages of the night to accumulate an outstanding 2,270,385 in chips, good for 45 big blinds. Closest behind the leader is fellow-countrymen "jessecesar" who flew under the radar for the better part of the day but managed to end second on the totem pole with their 1,923,008 stack.

The WPTDeepStacks Main Event brought in a total of 1,024 entry slips, creating a $1,024,000 prize pool that just barely slid by the cool million gaurantee that was set. Day 2 had just 175 return, having 117 set for at least a min-cash worth $2,048 with the eventual champion pulling in $184,320 for their win.

Once the bubble popped there was an onslaught of eliminations that lead to some of the favorites taking an exit, including the start of day chipleader "FedorFolds" who flopped a set of ducks versus the top two of "selouan1991". A board pairing card landed on the river, giving both a boat but "selouan1991" had the best of it and "FedorFolds" was sent out the door in 53rd place for $3,277.

The final day will have those nine runners return tomorrow December 21, at 2 p.m. ET to battle it out on the 888poker twitch stream, with cards face-up on a 30-delay. The blinds will resume at 25,000/50,000 with a 6,250 ante, having them continue at 12-minutes in length throughout. Play will not halt until a champion is crowned here in the WPTDeepStacks Main Event, taking home a six-figure score.
