Cieri Looking to Cash

Kaelaine Minton

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Among the players in today's Deeper Stack is Frank Cieri, who made the televised final table of the 2008 Foxwoods WPT World Poker Finals event. He was laid up for most of 2017 following open heart surgery to replace a bad valve, but now says he’s feeling much better and "it's like it never happened".

He's still looking to book his first tournament score since his recovery and this series might be his chance.

Guarantee Covered

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

This event carries a $20,000 guarantee on total buy-ins and that's already well covered with the 140 entrants (so far).

Late registration and re-entry as still available through the break after Level 10, so there's plenty of time to get in the action and take a shot at this growing prize pool
