Jonathan Depa captured the $10K Short Deck event at the Poker Masters in Las Vegas, defeating a field of 37 entries to collect the top prize worth $133,200. Depa dominated this event, holding the lead nearly from start to finish, busting Alex Foxen after an intense heads-up battle to close it out.
“Heaters are always fun,” Depa said with a big smile after winning the event, just a week after taking down the €50K Short Deck at the World Series of Poker Europe in Rozvadov for €641,250. “I don’t really play that many tournaments. To win two tournaments in two weeks is pretty awesome and it’s always nice when you’re just basically winning every all-in.”
