The tension reached its peak late in Flight 1D of the $100K Winter Deep Stack as players battled to survive the bubble—and it didn’t disappoint.
The hand that burst the bubble was one for the books: Pocket 2’s went head-to-head against Q♦️J♦️ in a classic race for tournament life. The flop brought fireworks, giving the QJ a made straight along with a flush draw, putting the pocket pair in danger. But the board ran clean from there, and the deuces held strong, sending the unlucky QJ to the rail and officially locking up the remaining players into Day 2.
After 16 hard-fought levels of play, Stephen Speer emerged as the Flight 1D chip leader, bagging an impressive 622,000 units and positioning himself well heading into the later stages of the tournament.
Meanwhile, the action rolls on. Flight 1E is underway now, with players continuing their push toward Day 2. The final opportunities to advance are coming up fast, with:
-
Flight 1F kicking off tomorrow at 11:10am
-
Flight 1G closing out the flights tomorrow at 4:10pm
With the Flight 1D bubble behind us and the field narrowing, the $100K Winter Deep Stack is shaping up for an exciting finish.
Stay tuned for more updates, chip counts, and highlights as the tournament continues.
