The Venetian DeepStack series is now in the books after completing 50 events
Tournament play at the September Venetian DeepStack Series in Las Vegas wrapped up after several weeks of action. It produced dozens of winners across its 50 events, including the leader in all-time WSOP Circuit rings, Ari Engel.
Other noteworthy winners include Jeremy Becker, who earlier this summer won eight daily poker tournaments at Wynn Las Vegas. He carried his streak to the Venetian, winning Event #47: $800 No-Limit Hold’em Ultimate Stack for a career-best cash of $48,231.
The $250,000 guaranteed event drew 349 entrants on October 1. Others at the final table included Edward Kang (4th for $18,378), David Gelley (3rd for $34,475), and runner-up Erik Nomberg, who cashed $34,475.
Becker was third in the $1,600 buy-in MSPT Venetian Main Event earlier in the series for $43,125, as George Janssen would finish first for $82,823. Becker would also return to the Wynn for two more $200 nightly tournaments to cash $5,128 and $4,754, respectively.
Other highlights among the 50 DeepStack events at the Venetian included Californian Hennock Fessehaie winning back-to-back in Event #12: $500 NLH Epic Stack for $7,632 and Event #13: $600 NLH Epic Stack, taking home $10,606.
Michael Rocco would later take down the $1,100 MSPT Venetian Main Event for $54,049. With him at the final table were notable players like Brandon Eisen (4th for $20,701), Brian Battistone (3rd for $28,021) and Frederik Brink (2nd for $38,588).
Another double winner in the series was local Las Vegas pro Peter Hengsakul, taking Event #26: $400 NLH Epic Stack for $5,272 and later winning Event #40: $400 NLH Epic Stack for $8,364.
