The next Daily Deepstack commences at 4 p.m. and is a single-day event. It comes with a $400 buy-in, which buys entrants a 30,000 starting stack.
Late registration is open until the start of Level 9 (approx. 7:35 p.m.) and unlimited reentries are permitted. Levels are 20 minutes long, with 15 and 20-minute breaks sprinkled throughout the day.
Blinds began at 100/100, and a big blind ante is active from the beginning.
The deck has been particularly kind in the few hands I've played over the last few levels.
Two more stacks have been claimed, with my A♦Q♦ finding an ace against pocket queens.
More recently, my jack ten flopped two pair against a short-stacks ten-four to take me above the 90,000 threshold.

The third and final WSOP Daily Deepstack of the opening day of the series wrapped up just before 3 a.m., with professional poker player Cory Biddle emerging as the victor.
This isn't the first time the 43-year-old has tasted success at Horseshoe and Paris, as the North Carolina resident took down a $400 Daily Deepstack a year ago for $23,917.
More impressively, he banked his first piece of WSOP hardware after he reigned supreme over the $2,200 High Roller at WSOPC Cherokee last August. His maiden ring win netted him a career-best score of $93,116, which was sweetened by the fact that he qualified for the High Roller from a $300 satellite.
The event saw 115 players and had a prize pool of $17,825. Take a look at the payouts below.
The 216 remaining players are on a 20 minute break.
When play resumes, the late registration period will close. So far there have been 379 entries.

Not much has happened since the break, with my cards finding the muck preflop.
That was until I had A♣6♣ in the big blind. The middle position and small blind player limped in for 2,000. I made it 11,500, which folded out the first limper. The small blind, who had been fairly active, jammed for 43,000.
I wasn't thrilled about it but called as the bigger stack and was happy to see the small blind turn over Q♠J♣.
Both of us missed the flop, but I paired my six on the turn to slightly improve. The river was a brick and I claimed my fourth bust out of the tournament.

From a field of 389, 144 remain in the $250 Daily Deepstack. The top 59 players will get a slice of the $77,800 prize pool.
The winner will walk away with $14,632 while the min-cash stands at $503.
The last member of Team PokerNews has been eliminated from the $250 Daily Deepstack.
After being reduced to 60,000 at the 3,000 big blind. I looked down at A♦5♥ in the big blind. The early position player limped before the player in middle position made it 8,000. I called and so did the limper.
The original raiser continued for 6,000 on the 3♦4♣3♠ flop and was called in two spots. The 7♦ turn then checked through to the 8♠ river.
With 42,000 behind, I moved all in, and was met with a snap-fold from the early position player. The middle position player asked for a count and went deep into the tank. Despite my best poker face, my opponent called as the bigger stack.
I sheepishly turned over my raggy-ace and was stunned to see I was hero-called by A♠J♠, which was enough to take the pot and mark my demise.
That's the end of my time in the Daily Deepstack, but best of luck to the 100 or so players remaining.
