Description
The World Poker Tour is continuing to expand its 2022 schedule with a $5,000 WPT Benetian Las Vegas purchase starting July 12, which guarantees a $4,000,000,000 cash prize. This represents the largest-ever cash-full guarantee for a stopover on the WPT Main Tour in The Benetian Las Vegas.
The additional WPT events will be held from July 7 to July 17, starting with a $1,100 purchase event for one day as part of the Depstack Championship poker series. Other notable tournaments include the aforementioned $5,000 purchase main event, a $2,400 purchase three-day tournament starting July 8, and another $1,100 purchase event on July 11.
"We look forward to continuing to accumulate our storied history of the best tournament poker at the Venetian Resort this summer," said Adam Pliskar, CEO of the World Poker Tour. "I'm sure the players will be impressed by the joint efforts with the Venetian Resort to make the event bigger and better than ever."
The most recent WPT tournament at The Venetian Resort was in July 2021, when a $5,000 main event approached 1,200 participants with more than $5,500,000 in prize money. Chad Evelage of Muncie, Indiana, became the ultimate champion, earning $910,370 and joining the ranks of the WPT Champions Club's other winners.
Those who participate in every event on the DeepStack Championship Poker Series schedule can receive the WPT Player of the Festival leaderboard, which awards $1,100 in WPT Passport to the player who wins the most points during each tournament festival.
"We have created another exciting summer for poker players at the Venetian Resort," said Tommy LaRosa, tournament director at the Venetian Poker Room. "The DeepTack Championship Poker Series is a must-have game series every summer, and adding four WPT events further strengthens our commitment to providing players with as many options as possible when planning their summer in Las Vegas. Since the first WPT main tour stayed in Venetian in 2019, the WPT event has secured millions of dollars in prize money from every tournament that took place. The WPT's $5,000 purchase event at the Venetian Resort in March and July 2021 secured $4 million and $5 million in prize money, respectively.
Players can participate in the WPT Venetian Las Vegas Main Event via Club WPT, awarding Club WPT players two $7,000 Main Event Seat packages during the month of April. 슬롯
