Congratulations are in order to three skilled poker players — Edgar Propst, Jacob Baumgartner, and Pierre-Alexandre Lessard — who captured PokerNews Daily Deepstacks titles on Friday at the Horseshoe.

The winners all had to weed their way through large fields, and their efforts paid off handsomely.

Action began on Friday with a $250 no-limit hold'em tournament that attracted 765 entrants, creating a $153,000 prize pool. When all was said and done, the only player who still had chips was Propst.
