From Mach 6-April 2, Venetian Las Vegas played host to the March DeepStack Showdown, which offered more than $3 million in guaranteed prize pools across 42 events. When all was said and done, the series catered to 4,989 entrants (not including satellites) and awarded $4,119,408in prize money. However, the Venetian did have to eat $153,550 in overlay in their $1,600 NLH Mysrtey Bounty event, which was won by one of the biggest names in poker – more on that below.
Among those to claim titles were David Larson (Event #9: $500 Epic Stack Freezeout for $14,463), Jason Bral (Event #12: $400 PLO for $4,300), and Samy Dighlawi (Event #19: $500 Epic Stack for $10,500).
