Shaun Davis, 2026 Deep Stack Poker Series Main Event Champion
The Deep Stack Poker Series is always a fun two-week run of tournaments leading up to and through the Memorial Day weekend each year. The 2026 schedule had ten trophy events over 14 days and $810,000 in guaranteed money.
The incredible turnout in the Poker Room had 2,419 entries and put more than $1,000,000 in the prize pools. Amazing turnout, and the Poker Room was hopping.
The top tournament was the $1,700 Deepest Stack, with 225 entries across three starting flights, and late registration available until Day 2. After an extra day of play, it took Shaun Davis only 35 minutes to finish off the three-handed final table and win the title outright for $79,520.
Other notable wins include Matt Bretzfield’s victory in the opening tournament, the $400 Quad Stack Slater Scoop. Allan Dungo won two tournaments, Tom Gottlieb won the $400 Deep Stack multi-flight tournament, and Michael Newman captured the $600 Deeper Stack title.
Congrats to all of our winners and thanks to everyone for coming out!

Shaun Davis, 2026 Deep Stack Poker Series Main Event Champion
The big tournament on the 2026 Deep Stack Poker Series schedule was the $1,700 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em tournament. The Main Event for the two-week series drew 225 entries, and Shaun Davis took the top spot outright for $79,530.
The tournament featured a $300,000 guarantee and created a prize pool of $337,500. The last 29 players made the money, and they burst the long bubble a few hours into Day 2.
Defending champ Michael Newman fell short of back-to-back titles when he finished tenth and 2024 winner Johnny Bromberg was eliminated in ninth.
It took an extra day to find our champion when Davis, David Nathaniel, and Igor Pinheiro took an overnight pause. They returned on Monday to play it out, and all the chips went toward Davis from the start; it took less than one hour to finish off the tournament.
