subject: One of the Very Best Poker Tournament Series in Las Vegas Will Return in January 2010 [print this page] Author: StaceyLynn Author: StaceyLynn
The newest online resource for poker players traveling to Las Vegas this year is called LasVegasPokerSource.com. While visiting this new source of poker information, I was pleased to see that one of my favorite poker tournament series will continue this year The Venetians Deep Stack Extravaganza. The Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas started the Deep Stack Extravaganza poker tournament series in 2007, and since then has played host to thousands of serious poker players during their month-long event runs. Some of the first Deep Stack Extravaganza poker tournaments built up prize pools that totaled several million dollars. Poker players from all over the world travel to Las Vegas to play these events, which will continue in 2010, beginning on January 29th and running through February 25th. Another round of the poker tournament series will follow in the spring. "We have received very positive feedback from poker players regarding the Deep Stack poker tournaments," one Venetian poker room manager was quoted as saying. The poker room consistently receives a high volume of emails and phone calls requesting information about the Deep Stack poker tournament series. So much so, that the schedule has been increased to being held four times a year. The Deep Stack Extravaganza poker events carry buy-ins ranging from $340 to the now $2,500 buy-in, three day championship poker event. But it is the immense starting chip stacks and more than adequate blind structure that make them so popular among poker players. These two factors, along with the large crowds of poker professionals and local players it draws, make the Deep Stack Extravaganza the hot ticket for poker players. It doesnt hurt that the summer series runs simultaneous with the World Series of Poker. So those who exit their 2010 WSOP event early, or have days to spare in between their planned poker tournaments, just may decide to squeeze in another large poker event during their Las Vegas stay. The 2010 Deep Stack Extravaganza will see many of the same visitors and players as the past three years, and will likely surpass last years tournament entries as it continues to grow in popularity and spread through word of mouth and positive reviews on the poker forums. For the $340 buy-in events, players will start with $12,000 in chips. The $550 and $1,070 events allow the player $15,000 in starting chips, and the championship event, with its $2500 price tag, starts each player with $20,000 chips. The past Deep Stack Extravaganza events have been intensely competitive poker tournaments, participated in by numerous professionals and local poker grinders, and this years series is expected to heighten the competition even more, as poker players from all avenues challenge each other with different skills and playing styles.
