May Deep Stack Flashback: Jeffrey Trudeau, Jr. Top Dog in 2017
Level 10
: 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
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.

Perea Doubles Through Romano
Level 7

After the player in the cutoff raised to 1,500 and the player on the button called, Richard Perea moved all in for 13,100 from the small blind. Max Romano asked for a count from the big before making the call, and that inspired the other two players to get out of the way.
