The WPT’s new visit to the Venetian comes after the positive reception of the spring edition. In February, the WPT Venetian Las Vegas Spring Championship, also with a US$5,000 buy-in and US$2 million guaranteed, ended up gathering 488 entries and forming a prize pool of US$2,244,800. The winner was Nick Seward

Now, the circuit is betting again on the Venetian for one of the last major championships of the season. The winner of the Fall Championship will have, in addition to the monetary prize, the opportunity to inscribe their name on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup, the trophy that gathers the historical champions of the World Poker Tour.

The return also confirms the importance that the Venetian maintains within the WPT calendar. The resort has already hosted the circuit on numerous occasions and will again be, during the American fall, one of the meeting points for the main tournament players.
