Friday, August 31, 2012 Posted by Unknown , , No comments
The International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) has not only caused uproar through the attempted deal of Groupe Bernard Tapie to purchase Full Tilt Poker, but it also promises to be the biggest live tournament thus far with 30,000 participants and an astonishing prize pool of €20,000,000 at the Wembley Stadium in London. Not all details have been revealed yet, but a press conference is foreseen during the Final of the Partouche Poker Tour at Cannes and will be held on Monday September 3rd. Furthermore, the first two official ambassadors for the event have been announced with Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi as well as UK sensation Sam Trickett.


French iPoker skin Poker770 will be the first poker site to host online satellites for the ambiguous project as of September 2012 and the below info has been published on their website. The Qualifier structure contains a three Step SNG system where you can win the entry for as low as €6 as well as a daily Rebuy tournament. 

You can buy into each Stage with cash or try to work up your way. The initial 9 handed Step 1 SNG will have a Buy-In of €5.75+€0.25 and award two Tokens worth €22, the third place finisher receives a €6 Token to try again and the 4th place will be credited with €1.75 in cash.

The Step 2 SNG is similar and requires a Buy-In of €21+€1, again the first two advance and get an €80 Token whereas the 3rd can try again with a Step 2 Token worth €22. 4th place pays a €6 Token for Step 1 and the 5th place finisher gets a consolation prize of €1.


Winning a €600 ISPT Buy-In can be achieved in two different ways:

1) 9 handed Step 3 SNG  with a €78+€2 Buy-In

The Final Stage of the Sit'n'Go schedule will award a €600 ISPT Buy-In to the first place finisher, whereas 2nd (€80 Token) and 3rd (€22 Token) can try to win their entry through the Steps again.

2) ISPT Daily Final with a €21+€1 Buy-In

The daily Rebuy tournament at 20:30 GMT has a Buy-In of €22 with a minimum of 9 players required to kick off, the late registration will be open until the end of Level 9 and unlimited Rebuy's are available until the first break for €20. One optional Add-On during the first break can be purchased for another €20 and one ISPT Entry will be awarded for each €600 in the prize pool. Furthermore, all participants are required to have a valid passport or proof of identity and should be at least 18 years old.
