$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 5: 150/300/25 Ante

The count jumped over 70 entrants during the break and everyone is chasing Austin Buchanan in the early action. He ran his 25,000 starting stack up to 78,200 over the first four levels to set himself as the top stack so far.

Buchanan is a steady grinder on the WSOP Circuit and has booked over $400,000 in career earnings. That includes one WSOP Circuit ring, two runner-up results, 15 final tables, and 38 cashes. Buchanan also finished in the money ten times during WSOP events including this summer in the WSOP Main Event.

There’s a long way to go, he’ll still have some work to do eclipse Flight A leader Maroun Akiki’s 397,000.
