Venetian Announces First Vegas Live MTT Series Since Covid
By Poker.com
The live poker scene has been pretty much frozen since the Coronavirus pandemic has taken hold of the world, and many live-poker players moved to the virtual tables online, resulting in levels of poker traffic not seen in the industry in over five years.
Some Casinos in Las Vegas are now open, or partially open for business – and The Venetian Resort announced this week that it plans to run a thirty-two event tournament series (dubbed the “DeepStack Showdown”) from Sept. 7th -27th.
Venetian DeepStack Showdown 2020 – Points of Note:
- The series will have a total prize-pool guarantee of $400,000
- All play will be EIGHT HANDED
- Players must still wear PPE (masks) and plexiglass dividers will be in place between players.
Venetian Tournament Director Tommy La Rosa promised a safe environment for players. The resort claims to have in place 800 initiatives “to enhance safety and minimize risk for guests and employees”.
“we are frequently wiping down the tables, chairs, plexiglass dividers, hard surfaces, and sanitizing the chips and cards. We continue to make changes that enhance our protocols to insure compliance and accountability”
