Saturday, 23 October 2010
There will be more quality tournament in the capital next month after The International revealed that it would be hosting The Players Championship.
The ten-day festival runs from 21st to 30th November 2010 and will feature a trio of deep stacked events. Top of the bill is the three-day £350+£30 Main Event which will feature massive starting stacks of 100,000 chips and a pair of opening days. A capacity crowd of 240 players is expected with the winner set to take home a first prize of £25,000.
The other two events scheduled don't look too shabby either. The two-day £200+£20 freezeout features starting stacks of 50,000 and a 30 then 40-minute clock. There will also be a £200 mixed game tournament featuring 5 card PLO, Razz, 5 card Omaha Hi-Lo, Padooki, and Superstud. It's a 25,000 + 25,000 Double Chance with six-max tables.
