|CATEGORY: 2018, Event 1, Event 10, Event 11, Event 12, Event 13, Event 2, Event 3, Event 4, Event 5, Event 6, Event 7, Event 8, Event 9, June 2018, Pre-Event

The June 2018 DeepStacks Challenge Series was a huge success.  The schedule of 13 events over 13 days carried $330,000 in guarantees, all of which were well covered.  There were also some noteworthy accomplishments during this series.

Mickey Carr became the first player to win two events during a single DeepStacks Challenge Series, winning Events 1 and 8.  Chuck Bryant became the first known player to win the same event in back-to-back years (Event 2, $125+$25 Deep Stack NLH).  Julie Fine is the first woman to take 1st place in a DeepStacks Challenge event since October of 2016.

Here are all the June 2018 DSC winners:

* Indicates Adjusted Payouts

Congratulations to all our winners and thank you to all participants.  Thanks to all the Borgata dealers and staff for a terrific series.  We hope to see you all back here in a couple of weeks for the Borgata Summer Poker Open.  The next DeepStacks Challenge Series has not yet been announced, but is expected to take place in August.  Until then, we return you to your regularly scheduled Borgata Daily Tournaments.
