The preflop action was unknown, but it resulted in Marvin “Duckman” Karlins’ ducks getting shot down by chip leader Matthew Kerley.

Karlins’ was fit to get his last roughly 45,000 in the middle pre. Kerley’s was in great shape and looked even better after a runout.

Karlins B-lined for the cashier and prepped for Saturday’s second entry. Kerley stacked the chips and flirted with the 150,000 mark — more than 700 big blinds.

Brian Reinert had a roller coaster Friday busting, then stacking piles on his second entry before bagging a modest 69,000. Alas, the WPTDeepStacks Main Event permits best stack forward and Reinert is in search of bigger.

He was a late entry in Level 2 and hopes bullet number three is it as his journey toward a top bag continues here on Day 1C.

Look good, play good.

Tampa’s Anthony Dianaty came to this Saturday session in his Sunday best suited up and ready for a long day of poker. Dianaty has put together a string of results lately, carding cashes, final table appearances and multiple wins in 2019. With $276,000 in career earnings, another top score in this WPTDeepStacks Main Event would move him over the $300,000 mark.

Midway through Level 2, the clock shows 160 Day 1C players in action. The combined field now sits at 500, only a few shy of the $500,000 guarantee.

A surprise to no one, Day 1C of the WPTDeepStacks Main Event is off to the strongest start of any of the start days. The clock shows 123 registered and they have all the way until 6:30pm local time to continue to fire into this tournament.

A big prize pool enticed the defending champion to return to the game. After busting Day 1A, Quentin Jones took  yesterday off. It’s the weekend, though, and he’s back entered and another title defense is underway.

Saturday play in the $1,100 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event gets underway at 11am. This marks Day 1C of the series finale and the last of three starting flights.
