Amidst the excitement of the 2024 World Series of Poker, the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge (PNDC) has been making waves at Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas.
For those new to the scene, PokerNews has revamped this summer’s Daily Deepstacks, shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes of low-stakes poker and dedicated amateurs. To further entice these bedrock poker fans, PokerNews has stumped up 40 tickets through a leaderboard promotion to our exclusive bracelet event, the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship.
Every week, the top ten players on the leaderboard earn one of these coveted tickets and with the first week already concluded, be sure to dive into the highlights from Week 1!
Wrap up your day with some thrilling poker action! The final Daily Deepstack of the day kicks off at 8 p.m. as a single-day showdown. With a $200 buy-in, you'll start with a 20,000 stack of chips.
For those who like to make a dramatic entrance, late registration is open until the start of Level 6 (approx 10:20 p.m.), and you can reenter as many times as you want until then. Each level lasts 20 minutes, with plenty of 15-minute breaks throughout the evening.
Blinds start at 100/100, and the big blind ante is in play right from the start. If this event runs long, the tournament director reserves the right to suspend play and resume the following day.
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.
Is this Fabio Toldeo's time to book his spot in the top ten of the of PNDC weekly leaderboard? Well, he's certainly making steps to make that happen.
Columbia's Toledo made a gallant attempt in Week 1 of the PNDC, recording three cashes in the $200 edition of the deepstacks. A fifth, fourth and 12th finish saw Toledo cash for more than $5,000, but his collected points fell short of qualifying for a $600 PNDC ticket.
Toledo's path to redemption is in full swing, as he finally got over the line, notching his first win of the summer for $7,381 and 653 points, putting him 12th overall in the leaderboard. Toledo's shown he's got the chops to make several final tables and one more solid result should be enough to do it.
Overall the $200 Daily Deepstack on June 14, had 213 entries, with the $33,015 prize pool being split across the top 32 players.
