• $4 Million Guaranteed WPT Venetian Las Vegas Championship
• Huge Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series Continues Until July 31

It has been three years since The Venetian Las Vegas hosted a World Poker Tour (WPT) event, but that hiatus ends soon. The $5,000 buy-in, $4 million guaranteed WPT Venetian Las Vegas Championship takes place between July 11-17 toward the business end of the Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series.

July 2022 was the last time the WPT stopped off at The Venetian Las Vegas. A star-studded field of 1,178 entrants created a $5,418,800 prize pool. Robert Mizrachi came out on top, capturing his first WPT title and earning $894,100, which remains the star's largest tournament haul.

Much has changed at The Venetian's poker room since Mizrachi lifted the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup in mid-2022. The new look Venetian poker room, aptly named The Poker Room, features 50 tables sprawled across a 14,000-square-foot space. Tommy Loras, Director of Poker Operations at The Venetian Resorts Las Vegas, echoed those changes.

"The Venetian Poker Room has been completely transformed since the last time the WPT was with us in 2022. Our new room, the largest on the Las Vegas Strip, provides players with an elevated experience, and adding the WPT Championship event to the DeepStack Championship Poker Series further expands the offering for players this summer."
