Joseph Cheong

Two flights of the WPTDeepStacks event combined to put 816 players in the game, good enough to triple the $250,000 Guarantee put on the mid-week $1,100 buy-in tournament.

And the list of returning players reads like any top tournament in the world. November Niner Joseph Cheong is the starting Day 2 chip leader followed by former WPT Player of the Year Mukul Pahuja, WSOP final tablist Brandon Ageloff, and WPT Commentator/WPT Champions Club Member/WSOP bracelet winner Tony Dunst.

It’s a tough returning field and they have some work to do from the very restart. Only 171 players remain and 102 are set to earn some money; it will not take long for the bubble to get here.

Cards go back in the air at noon in a packed Hard Rock Event Center.

Top ten returning stacks:

  1. Joseph Cheong – 384,500 (128 bb)
  2. Mukul Pahuja – 384,000 (128 bb)
  3. Brandon Ageloff – 360,500 (120 bb)
  4. Tony Dunst – 356,500 (119 bb)
  5. Jackson Lashey – 340,500 (114 bb)
  6. Adil Khan – 323,500 (108 bb)
  7. Kevin Torres – 320,000 (107 bb)
  8. Ryan Tamanini – 317,000 (106 bb)

Nancy Birnbaum

A player limped in from early position and Danny Shiff limped in from middle position. Nancy Birnbaum raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and both limpers called.

The flop was Ks9d2h and action checks around. The turn was the 5c and the first limper led out for 11,000. Both Shiff and Birnbaum call. The river was the Jd.

All three players check and everybody is slightly hesitant to show their hand.

Shiff announces ‘nine,’ the first limper mucked and Birnbaum tabled TsTd and won the pot.

Nancy Birnbaum – 132,000
