Timothy West (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-141st) sure picked a great time to pickup the biggest live cash of his live tournament poker career, besting a 398-player field and winning the latest Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza Main Event, held at neighbouring The Palazzo in Las Vegas.

The DSE win puts West over the 2M mark in live tournament career earnings.
