$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed
Entries: 884
Prize Pool: $291,720
May 16 – 20, 2024
The opening event on the 2024 Deep Stack Poker Series schedule was a $400 buy-in tournament with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool and three long, slow flights to give plenty of play. After a bonus day of action, Pierre-Xavier Laurent dominated to take the top prize of $35,947 after a four-way deal.
The tournament drew 884 entries to smash the guarantee and our players created a prize pool worth $291,720. The last 111 players made the money and the bubble burst before the first break. From there, we watched our winner run away with it.
Laurent took the lead in the middle of Day 2 and never gave it up. He continued to build his stack and grind down the field until he had 16.7 of the 26.5 million chips in play.
Congrats Pierre!
