The final day is upon us in Event #78: $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship, an event at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) celebrating everyone's favorite media outlet.

Last year, Scotland's Hector Berry defeated Canada's Luke Varrasso to win $282,876, a bracelet and a 24-karat gold PokerNews Deepstack Championship winner’s coin as he became the inaugural PokerNews Deepstack champion. A year later and American Daniel Schill is looking to become the second champion after bagging back-to-back chip leads on Day 2 and Day 3.

Also among the final six are fellow American Nick Ahmadi, France's Nicolas Godard, Israel's Ran Kadur, Canada's Jason Li and Argentina's Jorge Dominguez. The international affair will play out inside Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, when Day 4 kicks off at 11 a.m. local time.
