The Venetian lately wrapped up its 2026 March DeepStack Showdown, a 51-event sequence that ran from Feb. 25 via March 31. A mixed 5,864 entrants took to the felt (not together with satellites) and a hefty $2,450,680 in prize cash was awarded.
Amongst these to win titles had been Miquel Maimes (Occasion #5: $800 NLH for $82,627), Qing Liu (Occasion #18: $1,600 NLH for $99,048), and Travis Sarget (Occasion #40: $400 NLH Seniors for $26,050), simply to call just a few.
Talking of some, that’s what number of titles Venetian crusher Sergei Saakian took down, successful three tournaments in 5 days, all in direction of the tip of the sequence.
It began when Saakian topped a 76-entry subject to win Occasion #43: $200 NLH Bounty for $2,060 after which two days later bested a 69-entry subject to win Occasion #46: $200 NLH Bounty for $1,800. Two days after that, he accomplished the hat trick, outlasting a 69-entry subject to take down Occasion #48: $200 NLH Bounty for $1,809.
The wins introduced Saakian as much as $214,772 in lifetime match earnings, in response to The Hendon Mob.
Under is a take a look at all those that claimed titles through the newest Venetian sequence.
