At this summer's World Series of Poker (WSOP), we're thrilled to sponsor the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship alongside the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge, which will send 40 qualifiers into the bracelet event via the leaderboard promotion.
Running from May 28 to June 24, the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge will see the players who take part in the daily $200, $250, or $400 deep stack tournaments at the WSOP earn points towards the leaderboard, where the top ten point earners each week will receive complimentary seats for the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship.
So, in our bid for you to conquer the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge, we've drafted in tournament crusher Raminder "Raminator" Singh, who knows a thing or two about grinding it out and getting the job done in these lower buy-in events, to give you a helping hand.
As well as giving out some handy advice, Singh sat down with PokerNews' for Connor Richards' new podcast: Life Outside Poker.
For the fifth episode, Connor spoke with the South Florida crusher about his nearly one hundred live tournament victories, moving to the US from India and running a business full time. He also shared his strategies for various tournament stages and gave Connor a tour of his one-of-a-kind poker trophy collection.
This interview took place inside Singh's South Florida home during the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in Hollywood, Florida.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Raminder Singh by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
