$350 Deep Stack NLH
Day 1c Completed
The 2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series kicked continued on Saturday with the third and final starting flights in Event #1: $350 DeepStack NLH. Day 1c attracted 327 runners, which along with Day 1a’s 225 and 1b’s 200 brought the current field size up to 752 entries.
That number could grow as late registration is open until the start of play on Day 2, at which point official prize pool and payout information will be determined.
After 14 levels of play, 54 players remained with Adam Horowitz and his stack of 444,000 leading the way. That behind Day 1a chip leader Aaron Klausman (480,000), but ahead of 1b chip leader Sean Shah (418,000).
Others to bag big stacks were Nir Peleg (378,000), Johann Tiemann (361,000), Guillermo Reyes (360,000), and Mark Smith (334,000), who round out the top five.
Others to make it through were Dani Dayan (294,000), Willie Wiggins (264,000), Matt Yorra (244,000), Doug Lovelace (219,000), Christian Bayer (171,000), Manny Perez (122,000), James Hamburger (107,000), and Steve Karp (83,000).
Among those to fire Day 1c but fail to advance were 2015 WSOP Ladies Event champ Jaquelyn Scott, South Florida radio host Andy Slater, Jaime Wiegrefe, Bruce Kahn, Michael Garcell, Aaron Kupon, Errol Rosen, and Juan Diaz.

Level 14 is nearing its end, and that means players will be bagging and tagging on the Day 1c flight. We're headed out to the field to grab some chip counts. Stay tuned for those, a full recap of the Day 1c action, and the Day 2 seat draw.
The short-stacked Jaime Wiegrefe moved all in for his last 15,500 from early position and he cleared the field around to Doug Lovelace, who called from the big blind.
Lovelace:
Wiegrefe:
Lovelace woke up with a big hand and Wiegrefe was in dire straits. The flop left Wiegrefe looking to either boat up or catch a king just to chop, but he failed to do so as the bricked on the turn followed by the on the river.

Unfortunately, some of the preflop details escaped us, but we do know Marc Brown had jammed from the big blind for 60,000 while the player in the small blind, who had committed some chips, tanked. Eventually, a call was made and Brown was primed for a double.
Brown:
Small Blind:
A couple of players at the table commented on the small blind's call, and not in a positive way. Meanwhile, Brown stood up to watch his fate unfold... .
Brown's pocket pair held and he shipped the double.

The under-the-gun player opened for 5,500 and the player in the hijack called. Tracy White then three-bet all in for 26,500 from the button, both blinds folded, and the original raiser got out of the way.
The player in the hijack thought for a bit and then dropped in a call.
White:
Hijack:
White was ahead and took a hammerlock on the hand when the flop delivered him a set. The turn left the hijack drawing dead and White was pushed the pot after the was run out on the river.
