Welcome to Day 1b of the $560 The Deeper Stack
The second premiere event in Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series is upon us. The second of two starting flights in the $560 buy-in The Deeper Stack will get underway at 11 a.m. EDT.
Players will start with 40,000 in chips in that tournament and play 40-minute levels through Level 14. Levels 15-26 will last 60 minutes each with Levels 27+ will switch to 90 minutes. Heads-up play will revert to 40-minute levels.
The plan for today is to play through Level 14. Late registration and unlimited re-entries will be allowed until the start of Day 2. Like the Deep Stack, this is not a best-stack forward event.
The winner of the tournament will also receive an added $1,650 Main Event seat.
Last year, Chanpiseth Keam prevailed over a 432-entry field to win the Deeper Stack for $37,991. The year before that, Jeffrey Trudeau Jr. topped a 434-entry field to win it for $49,148, while Almog Biton topped a 452-entry field to win it in 2016 for $57,746.
Here's a look at the structure for today.
