Darcy Hafso and Chad Hallett Chop E10 $230 NLH Chad Hallett battled back near even, and Darcy Hafso agreed to a chop with him. Hallett was on the bring of elimination earlier in the final table.

Little NLH On the Side
2025 Summer Super Stack – Event #10: $230 NLH ($200 + $30)
Date: Aug 4, 6 PM Blinds: 20 Minutes Starting Stack: 25k Late Entry: 9 Levels (~9:30 PM) The side game on Monday night is the perfect outing for players with smaller bankrolls. The $230 NLH is one of the least expensive buy-ins on the schedule, making it perfect for the low-stakes grinders.
The action kicks off at 6 PM with 25k stacks and 20-minute blinds. There are 9 levels of open entry, putting the last buy-in chance at ~9:30 PM.
Alek Gillies will be handling the reporting duties on Monday while I get a chance to play some poker in the HORSE event (and maybe this one if I get bucked off the HORSE early), but this game will be his second priority until the HORSE race finishes.
