Tada Wins WPTDeepStacks Turlock Title

Surrounded by friends all chanting his nickname ‘CuCu, CuCu,’ Steven Tada took center stage Sunday night as he captured the 2016 WPTDeepStacks Main Event at Turlock Poker Room.

Tada, a Bay Area poker player who makes it to many of the big NorCal events from San Jose to Sacramento and more, joined a large group of players who came to Turlock looking for a WPTDS title. That flock of Bay Area players helped push the prize pool to an all-time Turlock record $201,760 for the $1100 buyin Main Event.
