Jonathan Depa

Jonathan Depa is an American professional poker player with live tournament earnings of $2,810,443 from 45 recorded cashes, according to the Hendon Mob. His most recent cash was a modest $731 on June 25, 2023. Despite the occasional small cash, Depa has demonstrated the ability to win large buy-in events, particularly in the variant of Short Deck poker.

Depa's recent results are dominated by Short Deck tournaments. In fact, all four of his most recent recorded cashes are in Short Deck events. His hot run began with a victory in a €50,000 Short Deck event at King's Casino in Rozvadov. Just over two weeks later, he won the $10,000 Short Deck event at the Poker Masters series, defeating Alex Foxen heads-up. Foxen is widely regarded as one of the world's top-ranked poker players, making Depa's victory particularly impressive. Short deck poker, also known as six-plus hold'em, has grown in popularity in recent years, and Depa has proven to be one of its top competitors.

Beyond his Short Deck success, Depa has compiled a solid tournament résumé. His total earnings exceed $2.8 million across 45 in-the-money finishes. While the majority of his cashes are in undefined events, his two recent Short Deck titles stand out as career highlights. These wins not only added significant prize money but also cemented his reputation as a force in the growing Short Deck poker community. His success in high-stakes short deck events demonstrates his adaptability and deep understanding of poker fundamentals.
