Raymond Chiu, a 42-year-old IT consultant, has taken the first week of the PokerNews Deepstack Challenge by storm. His impressive performance has secured him a place among the top ten weekly players, who each receive a $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship ticket at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
Chiu's remarkable run started on Friday, May 31, when he won the $400 Daily Deepstack. This event drew 177 entries and a prize pool of $58,410, with Chiu taking home $13,709. 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 victory earned him $16,489, marking his largest payout to date.
These consecutive wins have boosted Chiu's total earnings from these events to $30,198—not bad for an $800 investment.

Scott Seiver won his fifth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and in doing so may have secured his place in the Poker Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible next year.
Seiver, a longtime pro from New York who poker fans may remember from his appearance on the Big Game in the early 2010s, took down Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) for $426,744 after an intense and grueling final table battle that eventually saw him denying Jonathan Cohen a second bracelet.
Seiver turns 40 next April and thus will be eligible for the Poker Hall of Fame, a club home to other five-plus bracelet winners like Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel and Phil Hellmuth.
Not only is the Hall of Fame already on Seiver's mind, it's the 39-year-old's primary motivator.

Benjamin Underwood: Q♠8♠
Bleznick was ahead with his pair of aces, but the river 6♠ gave Underwood the flush and he was sent to the payout desk.

Dustin Dirksen was seen getting the last of his chips in on the A♥K♦J♣4♥ turn, and Jorge Ufano made the call.
Dustin Dirksen: A♠10♥ 
Jorge Ufano: K♥4♦
Dirksen was behind to the two pair but still had plenty of outs as he had a straight draw and top pair but the 7♦ river was no help, sending him to the payout desk.

William Kakon had just run into the aces of Alex Keating a couple of hands prior to fall short-stacked and was back in the mix as he raised under the gun. Frank Yakubson three-bet next to act, and Nick Caltabiano called in the big blind. Kakon called for his last 30,000.
When the 10♣8♦4♦ flop hit the felt, Caltabiano quickly check-folded to a bet from Yakubson.
William Kakon: Q♥4♥
Frank Yakubson: K♠10♠
Both players flopped a pair but Yakubson was ahead with his pair of tens. The 3♥ turn and 5♠ river were no help for Kakon as he stood up from the table.
