Hector Berry is the FIRST PokerNews Deepstack CHAMPION!

It's coming home! The PokerNews Deepstack Championship title, that is. After four days of action in the inaugural $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, it was British player Hector Berry who came out on top to take home $282,876.

Berry came into the final day as the second-shortest stack, but still held 40 big blinds thanks to the deepstack format, and eventually topped a 5,110-player field to defeat Canada's Luke Varrasso heads-up.
