Iverson Snuffer Bags Overall Lead in Deepest Stack Double Header
Day 1b of Event #10: $300 Deepest Stack Double Header has come to an end after 16 exciting levels of poker action. The second flight of the event drew a total of 516 and when the dust had settled only 86 remained with Iverson Snuffer finding the largest bag of the night.
Snuffer took off after the late registration period closed, cruising throughout the latter stages of the night with all the momentum in the world. He took down a few more large pots during the last hands of the night, bumping him up to the monstrous 758,000 stack that he finished the night with. The Milton, WV native has $692,582 in live career earnings with his best career cash coming right here in the Borgata for $63,882. Look for Snuffer to go on a deep run in this event as he searches for another cash to add to his already impressive resume.
Coming in right behind Snuffer on the totem pole for the night is Ting Zhou who managed to accumulate a 652,000 stack by night's end.
