Venetian Poker Room Rocking

The poker room at the Venetian is about two years old and is pulling its own weight on the strip, with hundreds of players a day showing up to play in the Venetian's Deep Stack Extravaganza series. Deep stack in poker refers to having a lot of starting chips, something a talented poker pro would appreciate because it allows them a lot of leeway in how they play the game, making it more about skill than luck. The appeal is obvious as the Venetian keeps packing in the players, many of whom are big name players like Dennis Phillips and Ylon Schwartz.
