$150 Deep Stack Turbo NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 18 of 184

On the eighth hand of hand-for-hand play, there was a three-way pot between Mark “Bud” Wiser in the small blind and two unknowns who occupied the big blind and button. The flop was and it checked to the button who shoved 34,000 (only two big blinds). Wiser, who claimed just 35,000, also moved all-in. The big blind had both players covered but opted to fold. The button was at risk.

Wiser: for top pair
Button: for a pair, a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw

Runout: turn river

Wiser’s pair held and the button was eliminated sending the final 18 players into the money.

Here’s a look at the tournament payouts:

1st – $6,127 + $1,650 Championship Seat

Players Remaining: 27 of 184

After just over five hours of play, the 184-entry field in today’s 2pm $150 buy-in Deep Stack Turbo event is down to the final 27. Out in front with a stack of 470,000 is Josias Santos who left his mark on this property during the WPTDeepStacks-Tampa series this summer.

Santos started the series off with a 22nd-place finish in the 698-entry opener, then followed it up with a fourth-place finish and $18,000 score a few days later in a $350.

His stack in the Turbo is good for now, but with 15-minute levels and rising blinds he’ll need to keep winning pots if he hopes to steamroll into the money.

Stay tuned for bubble play.
