Players have stepped away for a short break just before the start of Level 18, and the Harvest Deep Stack field is down to 32 players. When action resumes, blinds will rise to 10,000 15,000 with a 15,000 big blind ante, putting added pressure on the shorter stacks as play inches toward the payout line.
With only the top 30 players making the money, the bubble is officially looming. Just two eliminations separate the field from a guaranteed cash. The average stack sits at 370,000, which will be just under 25 big blinds when cards go back in the air, setting the stage for swingy pots and high pressure decisions.
As players return to their seats and prepare for the most intense stretch of the event, the Harvest Deep Stack at Daytona Beach is building toward an exciting push through the bubble and into the late night finish. More updates to come.
