Raymond Chiu, a 42-year-old IT consultant, achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first two-time winner in the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge. His consistent performance has secured him a place among the top ten weekly players, each receiving a $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship ticket at the 2024 WSOP.

Chiu's impressive run began with a victory on Friday, May 31, in the $400 Daily Deepstack, which drew 177 entries and a prize pool of $58,410. He took home $13,709 for this win. The very next day, on June 1, he triumphed again in the same event, which attracted 229 participants and generated a prize pool of $75,570. This win earned him $16,489, marking his largest payout to date.

These back-to-back victories have boosted Chiu's total earnings from these events to $30,198. Not bad for a $800 investment.
