The MSPT (Mid-States Poker Tour) is heading back to The Venetian Las Vegas for not one, but two events, both with massive, guaranteed prize pools up for grabs.

Starting May 20th, The Venetian Las Vegas will hold its Deepstack Championship Poker Series, and the $14 million guaranteed series will host two Mid-States Poker Tour events opening weekend.

The MSPT live reporting team will be on-site to provide frequent updates from start to finish during both events, starting with the $1,100 Main Event, which runs May 25th - 28th.

That $500,000 guaranteed event will be followed by the $1,600 MSPT Main Event at Venetian June 3rd - 5th, and this one promises at least $750,000 in prize money to be awarded.

Each MSPT Main Event features two Day 1 starting flights beginning at 11:10 a.m.

Players can register for both sessions if they don't bag a stack on Day 1a, with each tournament playing down to a winner on Day 2.

Tournament structures are as follows: 25,000 starting chips and 40-minute blind levels in the $1,100 tournament and 30,000 starting chips with 40-minute blind levels in the $1,600 tournament.

MSPT Venetian winners this season include Sean Berman ($42,305 + Bounties), and Terry Fleischer ($98,101).

Who will be next to add their names to the list of aforementioned Poker Bowl champions?

The MSPT live reporting crew will be on hand to provide live updates as the answer to that question is determined.
