In its previous editions, DeepStack Extravaganza has interested thousands of poker players present in Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker due to its low buy-in events. This year, the Venetian Las Vegas Poker Room will kick off DeepStack Extravaganza III in May at The Venetian Las Vegas, with $16 million in guaranteed prize pools. The 60-day, 90-event poker series will run May 26 to July 24, 2016, with “warm-up” events beginning on May 16.
The DeepStack Extravaganza series, running since 2007, has seen continual growth, not only in player entries, but also in the number of events per series and total guaranteed prize pools.
DeepStack Extravaganza III will feature event buy-ins ranging from $200 to $5,000. No-limit Texas hold’em, Omaha 8 or better, pot-limit Omaha, and HORSE events are all on the docket, including a seniors event, ladies event, bounty and survivor tournaments. Also part of the series is Event #19, a $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament, part of the Mid-States Poker Tour. Event #19 has three starting days and a $2 million guaranteed prize pool.
