Day: 1a
Joe Eubanks Lands the Largest Stack from Day 1a in BFPO Deepest Stack
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
The Day 1a flight of Event #10: $300 Deepest Stack has now come to an end after 16 levels of play and the first flight saw 312 entry slips sold, with just 51 remaining by nights end.
When the last chance saloon had closed for business it was Joe Eubanks finding the biggest stack of the night, bagging up 682,000. Eubanks found a fortuitous double early in the day when he bested a pair of cowboys with his ace-queen and he rode that momentum through till the end of the day.
Closest behind the chipleader is Michael Bonita who ran up a stack early in the day, finding very few bumps along the journey as he bagged 579,000, good for second on the leaderboard.
Some other players to find a healthy-sized stack for Day 2 include Raj Desai (478,000), Olamide Otti (444,000), Erwin Fonacier (423,000), Glen Passin (401,000), Frank Funaro (345,000), and Barbara Leonardi (309,000).
The remaining players from this flight will combine with the Day 1b starting flight survivors and will return on Tuesday, November 12 at noon to battle it out on Day 2. Chip counts and seating assignments will be posted before the starting of Day 2.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be bringing all of the live coverage for the remainder of this event, so stay tuned as the action unfolds.
