$350 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 3: 75/150 with a 25 ante
Flight F Entries: 86

The entry count clicked to 86 during Level 3 to push the Event 1 prize pool over $200,000 with more than three hours left to get in the game. Plenty of time to run it higher.

Eric Wert has experience beating this big field, multi-day tournaments in this series. He took the lion’s share of the prize money in the $150 Big Stack tournament during last year’s Winter Poker Open, a tournament which drew 546 entries. Wert followed that up with another trophy in a turbo event during the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open a month later.
