Saturday, June 22's PokerNews Deepstack Challenge continued in style at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas, where three new champions emerged from a combined field of over 1,800 entries.

With $427,531 in prize money up for grabs across three events, the day delivered an exciting mix of winners, including an American celebrating his career-best score, a player from a beautiful Caribbean island with a population of just 200,000, and a WSOP Circuit ring holder adding another title to his career tally.

$250 Deepstack

Congratulations to American Britton Purvis, who topped a 1,198-entry field in the $250 Daily Deepstack to earn $33,029 - one of the biggest scores of his career. The WSOPC ring winner, who took down the $400 No-Limit Hold'em at Commerce Casino in November 2024, added another trophy to his collection after navigating a final table stacked with American players.

Jefferson Morrill, who also cashed in this week’s Seniors Championship, finished runner-up for $23,441, while fellow WSOPC ring winner Jaime Haletky secured third place and $16,905.
