Card Player Poker Tour Returns To Venetian In December For DeepStack ShowdownWin Your Share Of More Than $1 Million In Guarantees |
|
For the second consecutive year, the Card Player Poker Tour has joined forces with The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada for a December DeepStack poker tournament series. The DeepStack Showdown Poker Series will run from Wednesday, Dec. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 16, and boasts more than $1 million in guarantees. With 30 total events, there is sure to be something for poker players of every stripe. DeepStack Showdown buy-ins start at $80 and go as high as $3,500.
The series kicks off with a one-day $400 DoubleStack, with a $30,000 guarantee. Later that week, on Friday and Saturday, you can take part in a $1,100 DoubleStack with two starting flights and a $150,000 guarantee. There is even a $150,000 guaranteed DoubleStack event with a $600 buy-in, and four separate $30,000 guaranteed DoubleStack no-limit hold’em tournaments with a $400 buy-in. Other games on the schedule include bounty tournaments, Omaha eight-or-better, survivor events, rebuys, and a senior’s event.
But the highlight of the series, of course, is the $500,000 guaranteed CPPT main event, where truly hungry poker players come to make their mark. This is a three-day big blind ante tournament that begins Dec. 14 and features a $3,500 buy-in. Players begin the tournament with some truly deep stacks – 40,000 in chips – and enjoy 60-minute blind levels. This peerless event, in tandem with the famous hospitality and amenities of The Venetian, is the must-attend poker event poker players have been waiting for.
Last year, Mike Dentale defeated a tough field of 235 entrants to win the $185,061 first-place prize. The tournament’s $740,250 prize pool easily crushed the $500,000 guarantee, and tournament officials are expecting more of the same this year.
Players will have plenty of chances to win their main event seat at a discount with several satellite options. The Venetian will be running $400 mega satellites on Dec. 12, 13, and 14.
