Johnny Bromberg, 2024 DSPS Deepest Stack Champ

The $1,700 Deepest Stack tournament headlined the Deep Stack Poker Series with three flights and a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. It drew a ton of talent and local Johnny Bromberg took the top spot outright for $98,100 in front of a crowd of friends.

The tournament drew 303 entries to create a prize pool worth $454,500 and the last 38 players made the money. They got there a few hours into Day 2 and worked their way down to the final table with deep stacks and a slow structure.

Six players returned for the final table on the final day and Bromberg defeated Chris Bissinger heads-up after a back-and-forth battle. He earned the top prize, the DSPS trophy, and a good time with his friends on the rail.

Bromberg now owns trophies from SHRPO, Poker Showdown, the Everglades Poker Open, and Deep Stack Poker Series.

Congrats!
