With Week 2 of the 2025 PokerNews Deepstack Challenge nearing its conclusion, three more players secured tournament victories on Sunday, June 8. A combined 1,744 entries across the $250, $400, and $200 events generated $366,595 in prize money, with Dannette Mason, Konstantinos Tzinis, and Rodrigo Aldorino claiming the day's top prizes.

$250 Daily Deepstack

The $250 Daily Deepstack produced the single-largest turnout of Week 2 so far, with 1,105 entries building a $221,000 prize pool. Dannette Mason, who had nearly $46,000 in live earnings beforehand, rose above a field that paid 166 spots, ultimately banking $31,173.

Mason, whose previous best score was $8,332, nearly quadrupled that figure after a final table that included Kyler Scheriger (2nd - $22,031) and Charles Varner (3rd - $15,833). With their victory, she not only became one of the top single-event earners of Week 2, but also put herself in strong contention for leaderboard points heading into the final stretch.
