Vegas Value Report [June 23-30] - Where to Play Poker in Las Vegas this Week

Vegas Value Report

It's summer camp for poker players in Las Vegas with the World Series of Poker in town for its annual pilgrimage. While there are many fantastic bracelet and other events taking place every day at the Rio, there are also tons of other significant value events played at other casinos including the Aria, Binions, the Golden Nugget, Orleans, Planet Hollywood, the Venetian, and the Wynn. Of course, there is no shortage of cash games running around the clock as well.

The summer schedule provides plenty of opportunities for players to dabble in games they can't easily play throughout the year. Regardless, it is always the no-limit hold'em tournaments that feature the biggest turnouts.

With this in mind, here is a look at some of the bigger value tournaments this coming week of June 23-30. The tournament data comes courtesy of the tournament organizers. Kenny Hallaert maintains the 2019 Las Vegas Summer Poker Tournament Schedule; an invaluable tool for anyone trying to schedule their Las Vegas poker tournaments.

1) Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series $3,500 NLH $2 Million Guaranteed (June 24-27)

Venetian Deepstack Poker Series Las Vegas

The Venetian will attract many poker players looking for value this week away from the Rio with its $3,500 NLH tournament with a $2 million guarantee on June 24-27 as part of its Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series.

Players start on June 24 with a stack of 40,000 in chips and play nine blind levels on the opening day of an hour each. The final prize pool won't be known with unlimited reentries permitted until late registration closes after the conclusion of Level 12 (the third blind level of Day 2.)

Day 2 on June 25 and Day 3 on June 26 will feature eight blind levels with the action playing down to a winner on the final day on June 27. The winner will not only walk away with a massive prize but also a one-of-a-kind Championship Pendant designed by Steve Soffa Enterprises, LLC.


2) WSOP Event #61: COLOSSUS - $400 No-Limit Hold'em (June 26-29)

Vegas Value Report [June 23-30] - Where to Play Poker in Las Vegas this Week 101

Bracelet hunters that can't afford bigger buy-in tournaments or those looking for significant value on a small buy-in will be out in full force for the Event #61: COLOSSUS - $400 No-Limit Hold'em.

The tournament has received a bit of a makeover from last year when Roberly Felicio outlasted a massive field of 13,070 entrants to win the bracelet and a cool $1 million.

First, the buy-in has been reduced from $565 to $400. Second, the amount of opening chips has increased eight-fold from 5,000 last year to 40,000 this year.

Perhaps the most significant change is that the number of opening flights in this event has been reduced from six last year to just two this year taking place on June 27 and 28 at 10 a.m. PDT.

Players will have four chances to bag chips with each opening flight allowing for one reentry up until the conclusion of Level 16. Those bagging chips are scheduled to battle for two more days on June 29-30 with the entire tournament featuring 40-minute blind levels.


3) Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series $600 NLH $600,000 Guaranteed (June 27 - July 1)

Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series

Downtown provides a change of scenery for many poker players visiting Sin City over the summer with the Golden Nugget arguably providing the most pristine poker room in the area.

All summer long, the casino is hosting the Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series with its biggest event featured this week; the $600 No-Limit Hold’em Championship running June 27 through July 1.

The tournament features a $600,000 guarantee which will likely be smashed based on the $788,500 prize pool generated in this event last year when Guilherme Ksyvickisbordao topped 1,577 entries to win the top prize of $132,069.

Players will have plenty of opportunities to build a big stack with 25,000 in starting chips and unlimited reentries available up until the conclusion of Level 13 on each of the three opening flights on June 27-29. Players bagging chips will compete for two more days until a winner is crowned on July 1.

4) partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Aria $5 Million Guaranteed (June 28 - July 2)

partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Vegas Aria

Players with big bankrolls and those that won packages online will head to the Aria on June 28 to July 2 for the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Vegas Aria $10,300 Main Event, featuring a massive $5 million guaranteed prize pool.

The tournament, which features one hour blind levels throughout, is a deep-stacked affair with players starting with 100,000 in chips during each of the two opening flights on June 28-30. Players can reenter as many times as they would like up until the conclusion of Level 10 (the second blind level of Day 2 on June 30.)

Those bagging chips on Day 2 will compete for two more days until a champion is declared on July 2.


5) WSOP Event #64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em (June 28 - July 3)

Vegas Value Report [June 23-30] - Where to Play Poker in Las Vegas this Week 102

The Crazy Eights attracts tons of amateur players who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to win a bracelet thanks to the tournament's sponsor 888poker hosting satellites months in advance for packages to this event.

However, it wasn't an amateur who won this event last year. Experienced pro Galen Hall outlasted a massive field of 8,598 entrants to win the $888,888 top prize and his first WSOP gold bracelet. The 888-theme will continue again with first place this year once again guaranteed an $888,888 first-place prize.

There will be no shortage of ways to build a big stack, especially for those with deep pockets, as the tournament allows unlimited reentries during each of the opening flights on June 28-30 for a fresh stack of 40,000 in chips. Although players bagging chips will play for three more days on July 1-3, players will already be in the money during each of the opening days.

The opening days each feature 19 blind levels of 30 minutes each. The structure becomes much deeper on subsequent days with blinds doubling in length to one hour each.
