The order of business on Thursday was all about the $180 Deepstack with Day 1 flights at noon and 7 p.m. By the time they were over, a total of 282 players entered, generating a prize pool of $39,480--to which a $2,000 WSOP package has been added. By the end of the night, 54 players bagged up for the Day 2 restart on Friday at noon. Just 36 of those players will make the money, as the payout structure is as follows:
| 1st | $9,086 + $2k WSOP |
| 2nd | $5,748 |
| 3rd | $3,849 |
| 4th | $2,685 |
