HEADLINE: Venetian Poker Room Running Deep Stack
Extravaganza II
Body:
This is a reminder to everyone that the Venetian Poker Room is
running the Deep Stack Extravaganza II now! Designed to complement
and run concurrently with the World Series of Poker®, a subsidiary
of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET), the Deep Stack Extravaganza
II began June 1, 2007, and ends July 1, 2007. The tournament,
back by player demand, starts with a significant amount of chips,
very generous blind structures and 40 or 60 minute levels. The
month-long event includes No
Limit Hold’em, Omaha 8 or Better, P.L.O. and H.O.R.S.E.
tournaments.
The Venetian Poker Room “flopped” a winning hand
with their first Deep Stack Extravaganza, held in the first quarter
of 2007, hosting more than 4,700 entrants and a total prize pool
of $1.6 million.
“The idea of hosting the Deep Stack Extravaganza II was
proposed by an overwhelming number of players from our first Deep
Stack Extravaganza. The players were so excited about the structure
of our tournaments, that we had numerous requests to host another
event,” stated Kathy Raymond, director of poker
room operations. “Players enjoy our tournament format
because it offers the feel and experience of playing in a major
tournament without the major buy-ins.”
Placing in the money at the Deep Stack Extravaganza II not only
earns players cash, but also awards points that could put many
on their way to winning even more. The four players that accumulate
the most player points throughout the entire event will be awarded
Best Overall Player cash awards. One-half of one percent will
be withheld from the prize pool of each daily tournament and added
to the best overall player total prize pool. The standings will
be updated daily and posted in The Venetian Poker Room. The winners
will be announced on July 1st.
Kathy Raymond added that this is one tournament not to miss as
she estimates the combined total prize pool from the entire tournament
will be upwards of $5 million.
Additionally, promotional poker rates will be available to participants
of the Deep Stack Extravaganza II. The following rates are valid
June 1st – July 17th: Sunday – Thursday is $119 per
night and Friday – Saturday is $189 per night. Promotional
rates are based on availability and subject to tournament or cash
game participation. Please call 1-877-444-5777 for reservations.
The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino will be providing poker players
with complimentary shuttle service to and from the Rio All-Suite
Hotel & Casino. A schedule will be posted at the World Series
of Poker® and inside The Venetian Poker Room.
Registration for each event begins at 9am daily and tournament
play begins at 12pm. All tournaments will be played through completion
or until 2am; whichever comes first. Play will resume at 4pm and
will continue until a winner has been declared.
