Let the Grind Begin: The PokerNews Daily Deepstack Challenge is Back for 2025
The cards are nearly the air, and the race is just about to start.
Back for its second year, the PokerNews Daily Deepstack Challenge returns to the World Series of Poker with even more prizes, prestige, and bragging rights on the line.
Running May 27 through June 30, this special leaderboard competition gives grinders a shot at glory simply by showing up and showing out in the daily $200, $250, or $400 Deepstack tournaments at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
🏆 Rack Up Points, Win Your Seat
Each Deepstack tournament you play earns you points, and points mean prizes. Every week, the top 10 players on the leaderboard will score a free seat to the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship, set to take place later this summer.
Whether you’re a Vegas local, a bracelet hopeful, or just love the Deepstack grind, this is your chance to win your way into a PokerNews-branded WSOP event while picking up some extra swag and recognition along the way.
