At the 2025 World Series of Poker, this year's schedule includes 100 bracelet events. One notable event returning this summer at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas is bracelet Event #78: PokerNews Deepstack Championship (PNDC).
This also means last year's popular PokerNews Daily Deepstack Challenge is coming back, bigger and better than before!
From May 27 to June 30, players grinding the $200, $250, and $400 Daily Deepstacks tournaments at the WSOP will rack up leaderboard points. Every week, the top 10 players will be awarded a complimentary entry into the PNDC on July 1. That’s 50 seats up for grabs—10 more than last year, thanks to the additional week of action. Best of all? You can win multiple seats, meaning the more you play and perform, the better your shot at a deep WSOP run.
The final 26 players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break.
Action will get back underway at approximately 8:40 p.m. local time.

Shortly before, Michael Solheim made an eighty-seven against Aaron Cummings but the defending champ had a Number Three to leave Solheim with crumbs.
Down to his last 10,000, he committed them after a raise from Amnon Filippi and a three-bet from Robert Mizrachi.
Filippi drew two on the first draw, Mizrachi one, and Solheim three. Filippi checked, Mizrachi bet, and Filippi called.
On the second draw, Filippi went for two again, Mizrachi one, and Solheim also took one. Filippi check-folded to a bet from Mizrachi.
Mizrachi drew one in the final draw and Solheim patted, revealing a jack-perfect Jx5x4x3x2x.
"Give him a jack," he quipped.
Mizrachi showed 6x4x3x2x and caught a 5x to make a straight.
