May 31 saw three more players receive their PokerNews Deepstack Challenge winner's card protector.
Srikanth Alajangi, a 39-year-old American who works in IT, was the biggest winner of the day, winning the $250 Deepstack for $15,771. The event saw 431 entries make a $86,200 prize pool.
In the $400 tournament, Raymond Chiu topped a 177-entry field to claim the $13,709 up top from the $58,410 prize pool. Like Alajangi, Chiu plys his trade in IT.
Railcar mechanic Chi Tuan Do Nguyen was the final winner, coming out on top of 180 other entries. Nguyen, who is 34, banked $6,519 for the victory.
Several of the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge winner card protectors have already been handed out, with Canada's Simmy Mok being the first beneficiary. She triumphed in the opening Daily Deepstack of the series, but it's been quite the journey for Mok, whose passion for poker came from very humble beginnings.
Mok's route into poker began 24 years ago when she was nursing her son. With a newborn, Mok found herself awake through various stages of the night, and while tending to her baby's needs, she started channel-flicking through the television.
Poker then became a saving grace for the Canadian as a major event seven caused huge changes in her day-to-day life.
