$200 Daily Deepsatck

The $200 Daily Deepstack didn't finish until gone 4 a.m. local time, but after cashing four times last year, George Vigelette picked up his first PokerNews Daily Deepstack title.

One of those results in 2024 was a runner-up finish for $ 6,886, but he's now surpassed that with the $7,542 he won tonight after outlasting a 219-player field and defeating Nint Hoo heads-up. Hoo is a Daily Deepstack regular, having cashed nine times in 2023 and 2024 combined. However, his $4,946 cash in this event was the largest of all.
