Two years ago, this very event attracted 434 entries and saw Orlando’s Jeffrey Trudeau, Jr. emerge victorious to capture the title for $49,148. At the time, Trudeau was a 23-year-old professional poker player who had taken down six events prior to his Deeper Stack victory. His seventh win moved him over $400k in lifetime tournament earnings.
Others to cash the tournament were Steve McKoy (19th - $1,345), Ory Hen (33rd - $1,194) and Almog Biton (37th - $1,085), who had won it the year before. Also earning a payout was Daren Stabinski. After a 48th-place finish in the $360 Deep Stack and a runner-up finish in the $150 Deep Stack, his 44th-place finish in the $560 Deeper Stack marked his third cash in as many events.
