The World Poker Tour returns to the Las Vegas Strip for the $4 million guaranteed WPT Venetian Las Vegas Championship this summer. The $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament is scheduled for July 11-17 at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, with the final table action to be livestreamed from the venue’s state of the art poker studio.
The Venetian Resort Las Vegas first hosted the WPT back in 2019, with Ben Palmer emerging as the inaugural champion. The most recent running was held in 2022, with five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Robert Mizrachi besting a field of 1,178 entries in the $5,000 buy-in tournament to earn $894,100 and his first WPT title.
“The Venetian Poker Room has been completely transformed since the last time WPT was with us in 2022,” said Director of Poker Operations at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas Tommy Larosa. “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.”
There were two WPT main events hosted at the venue in 2021. Qing Liu secured $752,880 for outlasting a field of 937 in March, while three-time bracelet winner and two-time WPT champion Chad Eveslage was awarded $910,370 after besting a field of 1,199 in July of that year.
“The Venetian has been home to some incredible WPT moments over the years. We are honored to bring the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup back to such a revered venue,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska.
More info about this stop and the rest of the WPT’s offering can be found at the tour’s official website.
