This November, poker players from around the world will be headed to The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas for the popular DeepStack Extravaganza series. This poker festival is sure to be huge, with more than $3.2 million in total guarantees up for grabs. The series runs from Nov. 1-30, and features 48 events to compete in. Tournaments include two MSPT events, and a variety of ‘deep stack’, ‘ultimate stack’, and even ‘epic stack’ events with buy-ins starting at just $200. There are survivor events, bounty tournaments, and plenty of satellites to win your seats for cheap. The highlight of the schedule is the Card Player Poker Tour main event, which has a $2,500 buy-in and $750,000 guarantee. There are three starting flights running between Nov. 17-19, with the field combining to play down to a final table on Nov. 20, and crowning a champion on Nov. 21. This is the 11th time that the Venetian has played host to the CPPT, with a history that dates back to 2013. More than $18 million in prize money has been paid out at the Las Vegas property in CPPT events. Last year’s $2,500 event blew away the $1 million guarantee, with 975 entries turning out to create a prize pool worth more than $2.2 million. In the end, Ezequiel ‘EZ’ Waigel came away with the title and a payday worth $417,004. The illustrious amenities and hospitality of The Venetian Resort, combined with a dynamic tournament atmosphere, make the DeepStack Extravaganza a must-play series for tournament poker fans.
