Japan's Katsuhiro Mori became the latest player to pick up their PNDC winner's coin after triumphing in yesterday's $200 Daily Deepstack.
The turbo event was well attended, getting 214 entries to create a $33,170 prize pool.
Mori banked $7,354 for the win, with Jesus Garibay taking second for $4,834. Diego Delossantos fell in third, getting $3,272 for his deep run.
Lori Persinger (pictured) also made the final table but was eliminated in 8th place, which yielded a $748 windfall.

The PokerNews Daily Deepstack had a dose of 'je ne sais quoi', as French poker player Anthony Cierco took down the $400 edition on June 16.
Cierco, who has almost $1 million in live tournament earnings, reigned supreme over a field of 197 entries, taking the lion's share of the $65,010 prize pool.
Cierco collected the $14,814 up top after defeating Marios Savvides in heads-up.
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.
