The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas’ DeepStack Championship II is a 76-event series with more than $10 million in guaranteed prize money up for grabs. One of the marquee events of the popular poker tournament festival is the $1 million guaranteed 2021 Card Player Poker Tour Venetian $2,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, which kicks off on Thursday, Nov. 11 and continues until a champion is decided on Nov. 14.

The event will see players start with 40,000 in chips. Day 1 will feature 40-minute levels, which will increase to hour-long levels for day 2 and continue through the end of the event, outside of 30-minute levels during heads-up play. Registration and re-entry will be allowed through the start of level 13. More information can be found on the official structure sheet below.

This will be the tenth time that the CPPT has teamed up with The Venetian since the tour made its debut at the venue in 2013. More than $15.8 million in prize money has been paid out during the nine previous CPPT Venetian main events. All-time CPPT career money leader Jon Turner has won two of the CPPT Venetian event titles, securing $737,858 in combined earnings with those two victories.
