Ring In The New Year With Card Player Poker Tour At The Venetian Las Vegas

The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas is set to ring in the new year in style with the ongoing DeepStack Extravaganza (NYE) tournament series which started Dec. 25 and will continue through Jan. 7. Nearly $1 million in guaranteed prize money is set to be awarded across the 19-event tournament schedule.

The centerpiece of the whole affair is the $400,000 guaranteed Card Player Poker Tour $1,600 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event which kicks off on Jan. 4, just a few days into 2024.

The tournament features three starting flights from Jan. 4-6, each beginning at 11:10 AM local time. Players that make it through their starting flights will return at 11:00 AM on Jan. 7 to play down to a champion.

This will be the 13th CPPT Venetian main event, with nearly 5,900 entries made and more than $19.6 million in prize money awarded across the past 12 tournaments.
The tour’s all-time money leader Jon Turner has cashed for $737,858, with all of that prize money coming from his two title runs which both took place at The Venetian.

In January of 2023, Alan Mastic defeated a field of 560 entries in the most recent CPPT Venetian main event, earning $131,746 as the champion of that $1,600 buy-in tournament.

In addition to the upcoming CPPT main event, another marquee event on offer for this series will be the $300,000 guaranteed $1,100 buy-in Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) main event running Dec. 28-30. After two starting flights, players will combine to play down to a winner the day before New Year’s Eve.
