Last year was the first for the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza, a live poker event at the Venetian casino in Las Vegas, and this year's version kicks off on Monday. The first event is a $300 buy in No Limit Holdem tournament. The first season was a 19 event series, followed by a 31 event series. This time there will be 21 events with the final tournament being a $2,500 buy in No Limit Holdem main event. With last year's $7 million in prize money players will come to the Venetian looking to make a large inroad to their bankroll.
