A format change was announced for the International Stadiums Poker Tour 2013 (ISPT).
The updated schedule Day 1 events will take place exclusively online and will not occur inside London’s Wembley Stadium as previously announced. These online events will be held between February 3 and May 19.
From PokerFuse.com:
The original plan was for all players to assemble with their laptops in the stadium from May 31 to a live event June 6.
For months, questions swirled about the prize pool and whether organizers could actually pull off such a massive gathering.
Additionally, the $30m guaranteed prize was lowered to $20m back in August.
Lock Poker this week announced the first online satellites for the ISPT.
ISPT is the biggest tournament ever : It gathers 30 000 players from all around the world in the mythical stadium of wembley. This tournament is the first tournament combining online and live poker.
Bernard Tapie and son Laurent Tapie are the founders of this massive event with a list of big name poker pro ambassadors that include the likes of Michael Mizrachi and Sam Trickett.
