Hollywood, Florida
Event 6
$1,700 Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$300,000 Guaranteed
Entries: 257
Prize Pool: $385,500
May 22 – 25, 2025
The 2025 May Deep Stack Poker Series Main Event was a $1,700 Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold’em tournament with 257 entries and Hollywood poker legend Michael Newman added to his trophy count. At the end of a long Day 2, he earned $61,530 in a four-way deal.
The great turnout over Memorial Day weekend turned the $300,000 guarantee into a prize pool worth $385,500 and the last 33 players made the money.
After the dinner on Day 2, they played down to the final table, and it was a talented lineup that included (besides Newman) defending champ Johnny Bromberg, WSOP/WPT Champ James Calderaro, and nine-time WSOP Circuit champ Max Young.
The lead changed several times, but Newman took the last big pot when he eliminated Calderaro in a huge hand with a set of nines versus kings. With Day 2 wrapped up, the four remaining players divided the remaining prize pool instead of returning for an extra day.
Newman earned $61,530 for holding the lion’s share of the chips followed by Young, Bromberg, and Curtis Daye.
Newman’s accolades include 12 major Hollywood titles, the most recent coming in March, four WSOP Circuit rings, and this is his second May Deep Stack Poker Series win. He now has more than $2.4 million in career earnings and showing no signs of slowing down.
Congrats Michael!
