|
A total of 71 live events and 12 online events have wrapped up so far at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Nearly $249 million in total prize money has already been awarded across those 83 events, along with the coveted WSOP bracelets for each champion. Below is a look at two of the latest events to wrap up at the series.
2023 WSOP $600 Deepstack Championship No-Limit Hold’em
On the final day of the 2023 WSOP $600 no-limit hold’em ’Deestack Championship event, Canada’s David Guay wore a shirt with the words ‘determination & grit’ emblazoned across the top. Guay displayed just those qualities when he emerged victorious from the field of 4,303 entries to earn his first gold bracelet and the title of $271,032.
Guay had come painstakingly close to winning a WSOP title twice before, finishing as the runner-up in both the 2017 $1,000 tag team event and the 2021 $1,000 double stack event. This time around, he was finally able to come out on top of the heads-up match while a bracelet hung in the balance.
With this win factored in, Guay now has nearly $1.5 million in recorded tournament earnings.
Plenty of tough competition joined Guay at the business end of this event, including 2020 WSOP main event domestic tournament winner Joseph Hebert (33rd), bracelet winner Erik Cajelais (19th), and bracelet winner Joe Ebanks (16th).
