The Venetian DeepStack Poker Series is underway at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. The series began on 30th May and will run through 31st July 2024. Indian poker player Abhishek Goindi, participating in the series after a successful stint at WSOP 2024, shipped the $1,100 NLH UltimateStack Restart Event #66. He took home a prize of more than $92,000 (~ ₹77 Lakh).
The starting chips for this event were 40,000 and the guarantee was $500,000, which increased to $548,160 due to a massive field of 571 entries taking part. As the second day passed, the field kept narrowing and Goindi stayed alive right through; he seemed pretty stoked about the tournament, giving updates on it, via his Instagram handle.
He put posts that revealed his gameplay, beginning with being a marginal chip member on the final table, losing a major part of his stack at some point, but then going on to win the title at The Venetian. He posted a story of the winning moment and also pictures of him holding aloft the trophy. The 9-handed final table saw Goindi having a slight chip lead with a stack of 4,700,000. The lowest stack at the final table was Abbas Akhilani, with 1,110,000.
