Blinds: 2,000/3,000

Ante: 3,000

"I've Been All in for 40K a Lot of Times Today"

Level 14 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

That is what Ian O'Hara said when we came across him at risk for that amount against Henry Billete.

O'Hara: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Billete: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

It was a flip and O'Hara was just looking to hold. The {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop kept him in the lead but then disaster struck when the {a-Hearts} spiked on the turn to pair Billete. The {a-Spades} river made it trips and O'Hara headed for the registration desk to fire again.

Monster Pot Goes to Kalgstein

Level 14 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rick Kalgstein

A preflop raising war resulted in Steven Bennett getting his stack of roughly 150,000 all in preflop and way behind Rick Kalgstein.

Kalgstein: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Bennett: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Bennett was in a world of hurt and the {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop didn't do him any favors. The {k-Diamonds} turn kept him drawing live but he missed when the {7-Clubs} bricked the river.

The 2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series continued on Tuesday with the $560 Deeper Stack NLH.

On Monday’s Day 1a, 124 runners took to the felt and only 25 survived the flight. Leading the pack with a stack of 778,000 was Pierrot Massenat, followed by Johann Tiemann (510,000) and Ricardo Eyzaguirre (433,000). Others to bag and tag were Erik Christensen (257,000), Ofer Peleg (219,000), Elliott Zaydman (123,000), Derrick Rose (91,000), and Ariel Quintana (47,000).

On Tuesday, another 179 entrants took to the felt to bring the number up to 303 entries, though that could go up as late registration is open until the start of play on Day 2. After 14 levels of play 39 bagged and tagged with Rick Kalgstein and his stack of 502,000 out in front.
