Just over two weeks after winning a €50,000 Short Deck event at King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Jonathan Depa picked up another short deck title on Thursday after beating Alex Foxen heads-up in the Poker Masters $10,000 Short Deck event.

The last four cashes on Depa’s Hendon Mob profile are all in the game of Short Deck.

“Heaters are always fun,” Depa said. “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.”

The final table included a Poker Hall of Famer, a former November Niner, the reigning GPI Player of the Year, the reigning High Roller of the Year and a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner. None of them were a match for Depa though.

Jorryt van Hoof, who finished third in the 2014 WSOP Main Event, limped with before Sam Soverel raised all in to 940,000 with .

Foxen continued to enjoy the role of executioner and his next victim was Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel. Seidel opened by moving all in for 1,230,000 with and Foxen mvoed all in behind him with and Depa folded. Foxen fell behind on the flop, but the turn gave Foxen straight and flush draws. The river completed Foxen’s flush and eliminated Seidel in third.
