What Poker Players Won Millions of Dollars at the Venetian? Recapping the Summer Deepstack Championship

In the 1,002nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, host Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are coming to you from a new location -- the Venetian Poker Live studio in Las Vegas!

That's because they're doing a special episode devoted to all things Venetian, including a thorough recap of the Venetian Summer Deepstack Championship Series. Find out all about the numbers, including entries, prize pools, and overlays, and some of the bigger winners, both in terms of name recognition and six-figure scores. That includes Bruno Furth, Andrew Ostapchenko, and Jim Collopy.

Oh, and Tony Miles also won a title. Did you know the former WSOP Main Event runner-up was on reality TV? Indeed, he was a competitor on American Ninja Warrior, and he even had a big prop bet against Shaun Deeb. Chad and Mike talk a bit about it, as well as some of the summer cash games on Venetian Poker Live. One big three-way hand involved Michael Mizrachi, Chino Rheem, and Isaac, while another sprang out of Joe's Game. See clips of both in this episode.

Finally, Chad and Mike look back at Episode #1,000 and share some of their favorite moments from the special event.

A new PokerNews Podcast drops every Thursday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
