$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 1,500/3,000/400 Ante

Out of nowhere, Faycal Bennouna has jumped to everyone’s attention when he left a 400K stack behind on break. Chips of all three denominations in play were stacked up in a big, nice towers.

We’ll try to track down how he built the stack but right now he’s the overall Event 1 leader. We’ll see if he can hang on.

Former leader Dan Weitzenkorn has been hovering around the 100K mark and a few players have blasted past including John Depersio. He was probably feeling good about his near 200K stack until he caught a glimpse of the Bennouna castle on the other side.
