The second flight of WPTDeepStacks Amsterdam attracted a whopping 392 entries, bringing the collective total of both flights to 757. Fabio Peluso topped Day 1A with an impressive 691,000 (115 bb) stack but a new leader is in town. Badre al Ghouch catapulted to 943,000 (157 bb) during the last hand of the night, taking the lead into tomorrow by a hefty margin.

Day 2 begins tomorrow at 12:30 pm, where the 95 survivors from the flights will return, all being guaranteed at least a min-cash worth €1,790. The players should have their focus on the biggest piece of the €734,290 Prize Pool that was accumulated, which will see one lucky hopeful walking away with €130,690 and the status of being a WPTDeepStacks Champion.

Here is a list of the top 10 stacks to start the day:

1. Badre al Ghouch – 943,000 (157 bb)
2. Wilhem Isaak – 814,000 (140 bb)
3. Fabio Peluso – 691,000 (115 bb)
4. Sandro Pitzanti – 653,000 (109 bb)
5. Tom Vogelsang – 603,000 (101 bb)

9. Tonny van Eck – 562,000 (93 bb)
10. Daniel Pastor – 495,000 (83 bb)

The second day of this event will have the 95 players battle it out until the final eight who will return on April 1, for a live-streamed final table. Day 2 will keep with the steady 40-minute blind levels but once Day 3 comes around it will be hour-long levels until heads-up beings, in which case 30-minutes will be brought into action.
