The Harvest Deep Stack rolls into Level 13 with 88 players still battling for a spot in the top 30 and a share of the $128,760 prize pool. Blinds are now 2,000 4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante, and the pressure is beginning to mount as stacks tighten and every decision carries extra weight.
Leading the field at this stage is Le Tieu, who has amassed an impressive stack and is no stranger to success at Daytona Beach. Tieu has more than half a million dollars in recorded live tournament earnings and captured the June Summer Classic title earlier this year for more than $35,000. His presence at the top of the counts adds a compelling storyline as players jockey for chips and position in this one day event.
With deep stacks, steady action, and several recognizable local competitors still in the mix, the road to the final table is starting to take shape. More updates to come as the Harvest Deep Stack continues to build toward the money bubble and the late night finish.
