2026 Spring Super Stack – Event #3: $340 Deepstack NLH

The stacks are collated, and Hasanain Al Ghunaim is the chip leader by far. He bagged 733k at the end of 1c, with Brian Fleming’s second-place stack only at 488.5k. Josh Myers, Matthew Robertson, and Alexandre Fortin round out the top five from 1c. Stay tuned for a Day 2 post with the full Day 2 field and seat assignments coming shortly.

There are 4 minutes left in Level 17, and the bags are now out with 22 players remaining. Stay tuned for a look at the final stacks from 1c coming shortly, with a Day 2 preview including full seat assignments coming after that.

The clock is paused with 10 minutes remaining in Level 17, with the field down to 23. That puts them on the hard bubble to the end of the night. I’ll be adjusting the prizes slightly shortly, as there was an error in the printed prizes. The good news is that the only change is that a few of the top spots are getting a bit more money than previously advertised.

Level 17 is about to begin with the 1c field just 3 eliminations away from the bags. That should mean the bubble play starts in Level 17, and the bags should come out earlier than the previous flights.

The prizes for Day 2 have now been released, with the winner expected to pocket more than $26k on Sunday evening. See the Payouts tab for a full look at all the Day 2 prizes, with the top ten spots below.

The Day 1c field just broke down to the final three tables with 27 players left. That puts them 5 eliminations off the bags with about 5 minutes to play in Level 16. There’s a break following this level, and unless things slow considerably, it looks like the bubble play should start sometime in Level 17.

1c is moving quickly so far tonight, with the field now down to 33, 11 off the bags. Right now, it looks like Pete Fylyma and Nicholas Lee are leading with about 350k each. Fylyma told me that he had 500k recently, but sent a double to Lee to beef up his stack. Across the room, Tyler Hurman is playing around 300k after his traditional max-late entry for this one.

Day 1c is down to 38 players left now, with Level 15 just underway. They still need to lose 14 players before the bags come out with 22 remaining, so there’s still some poker to play tonight.

They’ve just broken down to the final four tables, with one more table break expected before the end of the night. Its looking like this flight could end before Level 18, but as it’s the last flight, I expect players to be a bit more cautious with their chips since they can’t rebuy into this one again.

All the money has been counted, and 219 is the confirmed field for Day 1c. That puts the three-day total up to 442 entries for $125,970 in total prizes.

22 will move forward from today’s flight, adding to the 22 already waiting for Day 2 from the first two flights, for a Day 2 total of 44. It’s possible those numbers will change slightly if there is a multiple knockout of the final hand of tonight’s flight, but there should be 44 players coming back for Sunday’s Day 2.

Day 2 prizes should be out shortly, and I’ll get them up as soon as I see them.

Entries are now closed for Event #3, and it was a good one. The final tally for Day 1c was 219 entries, though that number is still yet to be confirmed. If it holds, it will mean a final total of 442 for prizes of almost $126k. There should be 22 bags at the end of the night, which should mean 44 players returning on Day 2 for a piece of those prizes.

The final break of entries is now on, with about 10 minutes left until entries are closed for good on Event #3. The field is at 215 for 1c, and 438 in total, for combined prizes of $124,830. One more entry will push it over $125k.

The 1c field is now over 200 entries, for combined prizes of more than $120k. There is just under an hour left to enter this final flight, so the numbers may still jump up to 210 or more, for a combined total in the 430 range.

Level 10 has just begun, which means there are now two levels of poker, plus a break, before entries close. With 197 entries on the board for 1c already, a 200+ field for today’s flight looks like a lock

Day 1c is back from the dinner break, and the players are into the final three levels with entries still open. The reg-desk will close for Event #3 at about 8:45 tonight, when the players sit down for Level 12.

The combined prizes are now over $115k, and a 1c field of 200 or more isn’t out of the question today. If they hit 200, that would put the prizes at more than $120k.

The 1c players are on their dinner break now with the conclusion of Level 8, and the combined field is now 1 entry shy of 400, putting the prizes just shy of $114k. They’ll be back in action for the final three levels of entry in about 40 minutes, and it seems like a sure bet that the final prizes will be more than $115k.

Level 8 has just begun, and the 1c players will be off for the dinner break at the end of this level. The 1c field is now at 166 entries, for a combined total of 389 and more than $110k in prizes. The combined field is now just 11 away from 400, and it seems like a good bet they’ll get at least that many new entries over the next 3 hours. If they do hit that number, it would be a prize pool of $114k, and to cap $115k will take 181 entries today, just 15 more than are currently in the game.

Level 7 is about to begin, and the 1c field is nearing 160 entries. That puts the three-day total for entries at 380 for $108,300 in total prizes. Almost $45k of that is coming from the 1c entries alone right now, but it’s not impossible that share will be $50k or more by the end of entries in about 3.5 hours.

About 5 minutes remain in Level 5, and the prizes are now over $100k. Today’s field is up to 138 entries, the biggest flight so far, and with four hours left to enter, it’s sure to get even bigger.

The combined field is now at 361 for total prizes of $102,885, and among the players trying to bag a stack here in the final flght are Erich Leidums, Rob Lothian, Rob Bridger, Alexandre Fortin (who was 3rd in the PKO last night), Curtis Singleton, and Kyle Dery.

The 1c players are about 5 minutes away from the first break of the day, with today’s field now at 116 entries. That puts the combined total to 339, for $96,615 in total prizes so far. It looks like the prizes will be just below $100k when they go for the break, but it should easily crack that number before the dinner break following Level 8.

With 5 minutes still to play in Level 3, the 1c field just hit 100 entries. That puts the three-day total at 323, for $92,055 in combined prizes so far. There are still more than 5 hours left to enter the final flight, and the field only needs another 28 entries to hit $100k. Given the current pace, that could easily happen before the first break following Level 4, but either way, it looks certain to happen before the end of Level 5.

Level 3 is just beginning, and the combined field is over 300 entries now, for combined prizes of just over $88k. They have two more levels to play until the first break of the day, and there are still almost 6 hours left to enter today’s final flight. The numbers are still looking good for prizes of well over $100k once entries close later tonight.

Level 1 is nearly complete, and the three-day prizes are now over $80k and climbing. Day 1c already has nearly 60 entries in the opening level of play, so it’s looking very good for final prizes of well over $100k.

Among the players I spotted on my first look at the room are Garry Chan, Juilius Roque, Scott Calvank, and Todd The Rock.

Event #3: $340 Deepstack ($300 + $40)

The final flight to Sunday’s Day 2 runs on Saturday. The action kicks off at 2 PM, and the 1c players will be chasing Regan Duong, who bagged 535k in Day 1b after being down to 3 big blinds earlier in the day. Day 1a leader Kristopher De Leone isn’t far behind with 522.5k.

Between the first two starting days, the field is already at 223 entries for total prizes of $63,555. That means they only need 128 entries on Day 1c for a final prize pool of $100k, and given that’s not even as many as played Day 1b, it seems like a lock to go well above that $100k number. Given the usual increase from day to day, I expect a field of at least 170 for Day 1c, and if they hit that number, it would mean $112k in prizes for Day 2.

As with the first two starting flights, 1c players get 25k to start, and play 30-minute levels throughout Day 1. Entries are open for 11 levels, with the desk closing at about 8:45 when they sit down to Level 12. After that, they play down to 10% of the starting field before the night ends. Given the first two flights, 1c players should expect to be playing into Level 18 before the bags come out, with both days so far playing till around 1 AM.
