59 Eliminations in Four Hours: The $200 Deepstack Grinds to 17

Four snapshots, four hours, 59 eliminations — the $200 Daily Deepstack has been the most violent grind at the Horseshoe overnight.

WSOP Event #456 sat at 76 players when the first update dropped. Guillermo Marquez, a Colombian player, paced the field at 83,000 chips. One hour later, 35 of those 76 were gone. Jacob Crabtree held 155,000 at 41 remaining. Hopi Jenkins — $1,940 in lifetime earnings, the kind of résumé that fits on a Post-it — topped everyone at 255,000.

Then Crabtree busted. Jenkins vanished from the counts. By the 26-left mark, Braden Pressman ($1,612 lifetime) had surged to 525,000 and Gianluca Cabitza, an Italian with $74,511 in career cashes, sat at 420,000.

Jacob Crabtree led at 41 remaining, and didn't survive to see 26.

Two Tables Left

The latest snapshot: 17 players. Scott Stopa is the only name reporting a chip count — 340,000. Adrian Gray, a British player whose entire tracked career amounts to $265 in earnings, is among the survivors. So is Star Rising from the Philippines and Sam Farhad.

Nobody at these two tables holds a bracelet or a ring. Zero. The most credentialed player left in the data is Cabitza, and even his $74K lifetime would barely cover a single bullet in a $50K High Roller.

The Pace

Here's what the elimination curve looked like across the four updates:

• 7:20 a.m. ET — 76 players
• 8:20 a.m. ET — 41 players
• 9:05 a.m. ET — 26 players
• 9:35 a.m. ET — 17 players

That's roughly one bust every four minutes. The field has been falling faster than stacks can adjust.

A final table of nine is close. At this pace, it arrives within the hour.
