$600 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Prize Pool:  $1,447,680  |  Structure  |  Payouts
Level 28:  40,000/80,000 with an 80,000 ante
Players Remaining:  16 of 2,784

Ryan Hogan raised from the button to 260,000, Jack Nathan moved all in from the big blind for 855,000, and Hogan called with Ad9h. Nathan turned over KdQh, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came QcJc10c3cKc — Nathan flopped a pair of queens to Hogan’s open-ended straight draw, and when the king hit the river, Nathan briefly thought he had lost to a straight. But neither player had a club, so the flush on the board was a chopped pot.

Ryan Hogan  –  3,945,000  (49 bb)
Jack Nathan  –  915,000  (11 bb)

With 16 players remaining from a field of 2,784, the average chip stack is around 3,480,000 (44 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $10,800 each.

Action will continue tonight until about 2:00 am. Day 3 will begin tomorrow at 1:00 pm, and play down to a winner.
