The three events
- **$1,100 No Limit Hold'em, $500,000 guaranteed** — 29 October to 2 November. - **WPT Fall Championship, $5,000 No Limit Hold'em, $2,000,000 guaranteed** — 5 to 10 November, with the final table live streamed from noon on 10 November. - **$600 No Limit Hold'em, $300,000 guaranteed** — 12 to 15 November.
The room advertises close to $4 million in combined guaranteed prize pools across the festival, which means the three headline guarantees above sit alongside a fuller daily schedule the room publishes separately.
How the prices compare
The spread is deliberate. At $600 the closing event is within reach of the same local players the October Showdown is aimed at; at $5,000 the championship is a destination event that draws a touring field. A $1,100 opener in between gives anyone who busts the championship a reason to stay in town, and anyone who runs deep in the opener a route into it.
Guarantees are floors
Each figure above is a minimum the room pays out whether or not the entries cover it. A thinner field than expected makes the event better value rather than worse — which is the opposite of how a short room usually reads.
What comes next at the room
DeepStack Extravaganza IV follows immediately, 16 November to 23 December 2026, with more than $3.6 million guaranteed.
Dates, buy-ins and guarantees come from The Venetian's own poker series page, read on 21 October 2026, and can change. Players must be 21 or over to gamble in Nevada. Please gamble responsibly: the US national helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER.
