MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Gambling911.com) - The Cheap & Deep NLH kicks off this Monday November 16 in Shakopee, MN just outside of Minneapolis and runs through Nov. 22.
This is one of Canterbury Park's established poker tournaments, offering a relatively affordable $300 buy-in with a deeper starting stack and multiple opportunities to qualify for the final day.
The main event's four starting flights allow players to choose a convenient entry date. Players who advance from their opening flight return for Day 2 on Sunday. The exact advancement rules, reentry limits and payout schedule should be confirmed with the cardroom.
Cheap & Deep has a substantial history at Canterbury Park. In January 2014, a $300 edition attracted 916 entries, making it one of the cardroom's largest standalone tournaments.
That event was won by Minnesota poker professional Carl Carodenuto, who later became the first player to win three Mid-States Poker Tour titles.
The 2014 Cheap & Deep tournament still ranked as Canterbury Park's third-largest in-house event by attendance in a January 2025 PokerNews retrospective.
