$560 Big Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante
18 Players Remaining, 78k avg (49 bb)

Event 2 winner Filipp Khavin (St. Petersburg, FL) eliminates a short stack to send the remaining 18 players into the money. This is Khavin’s second cash of the series.

The top two finishers in December’s Championship Event are still in the running for the $15,000 top prize. Stephen Diamantas won $122,000 when he defeated Ryan Sponaugle ($72,000) heads up for last year’s title.

“I have a feeling we’re going to be heads up again,” says Sponaugle just after the bubble breaks.
