Event #378's $200 Deepstack Is Grinding Past Midnight

Thirty-eight players remain in WSOP Event #378, a $200 Daily Deepstack where the chip leader's entire buy-in cost less than dinner at SW Steakhouse.

The field started the night at 54 and has been bleeding steadily. Nobody left in contention has a bracelet, a ring, or a résumé that would get them recognized in the Horseshoe hallway — and that's exactly what makes this worth watching.

Who's Got the Chips

Farid Didehvarsadr leads with 243,000 — the only stack above 200K. His lifetime tournament earnings sit at $1,410, which means a deep run here would roughly triple his career total on a $200 bullet.

Behind him, Ryan Loy (166,000) and Miu Urano (152,000) are the only other players clearing 150K. Tatsuya Murayama holds 100,000, and fellow Japanese player Kazutaka Kubota sits at 71,900.

Three of the top five stacks belong to Japanese players — Kubota, Urano, and Murayama — giving the late-night rail a distinctly international flavor for a two-hundred-dollar event.

Why Tune In

The $200 Deepstack is the WSOP's low-cost lottery ticket, and these are the hours where it gets interesting. No one at the top of the counts has bracelet experience. No one has six-figure earnings. The chip leader's entire tracked career is worth less than second place will pay.

That's the appeal. At 4 a.m., thirty-eight strangers are fighting for a piece of gold that costs $200 to chase. The final table should hit before sunrise.

Stream ends when the bracelet does.
