Event #3: $340 Deepstack ($300 + $40)
| Date: | Day 2: Aug 9, Noon |
| Blinds: | 30 Minutes |
| Entries: | 52/517 |
| Prizes (1st Place): | $147,345 |
| Chip Leader: | Phil Clingo (600k) |
| Day 2 Starts: | Beginning of Level 16 |
Day 2 is set, and Phillip Clingo, who was second in this game in the Spring, is the chip leader going into Day 2. He has 51 other players looking up to his stack, though second-place Arun Mattu doesn’t have far to look, with 595k in his bag. Mike Malm (1a Leader), Vincent Chahley (1c), and Simon Evans (1c) round out the top five stacks for Day 2.
One other notable stack belongs to Shane Chief. It’s not a very big stack, less than 100k, but in Spring 2025, Chief ran the nut short stack to start Day 2 all the way to the win, so I wouldn’t count him out tomorrow, especially after being part of the bubble-bursting hand on Day 1c.

Day 2 kicks off at noon, with nearly all of Level 16 remaining to be played. Both 1b and 1c went long, with 1a finishing barely into Level 16, so blinds roll back to 3k/6k/6k to start Sunday’s action.
With 517 entries across all three flights, the prizes are just shy of $150k. The winner will pocket more than $30k, with three players getting five figures. The min cash for 52nd place is $810, with an immediate jump to $884 for 51st place.
Blinds remain at 30 minutes to start the day, but they’ll jump to 40 minutes when the field hits 18 players. Action will continue on Day 2 until a winner is crowned, and with 52 players returning, it could be a long one.
