Saturday's action in the PokerNews Daily Deepstacks during the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) brought about another day of massive fields and big winners.
In the 1:00 p.m. tournament, a $250 buy-in, there were 998 entrants, creating a prize pool of $199,600. When all was said and done, the only player still standing was Matan Barkat. The champion took home $28,880 and earned 818 points on the PokerNews Daily Deepstack Challenge leaderboard.
The top 150 players went home with money, and here's a look at every player who cashed:
Like Raymond Chiu the week before him, Duy Ho's Daily Deepstack double victory put him in top spot of the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge Leaderboard.
He finished with 1,538 points, the most anybody has recorded thus far.
Yotam Shmuelov and Nicholas Burnett also broke the 1,000-point barrier, ending the week with 1,264 and 1,149 to round out the top three.
Following a monster 1:00 p.m. field in the PokerNews Daily Deepstacks, the $400 buy-in 4:00 p.m. session was huge as well.
Michael Beattie, a 53-year-old from Florida, conquered the 252-player tournament for $17,723, earning 733 points in the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge leaderboard for Week 4.
Beattie, who is a CPA, crossed the $300,000 mark in live tournament cashes thanks to the victory. It was also his first Daily Deepstack win since 2016 and his first recorded score of 2024.
He was among 38 players who cashed in the June 22 $400 Deepstack. Here's a list of everyone who finished in the money.
