“The National Poker League, which despite its name is actually pound-for-pound the most international of the major poker circuits, has found a new home base at the Venetian. The Venetian poker room will host two of the league’s five events this year including its world championship event, a three-day, $15,000 buy-in no-limit Texas hold ‘em tournament scheduled for Dec. 3-5.
Just before the championship tournament, the Venetian will host the 2007 Vegas Open from Nov. 24 to Dec. 2. The Vegas Open includes four preliminary no-limit hold ‘em tournaments with $2,500 buy-ins and culminates with a $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold ‘em tournament.”
