Venue #2 announced for a £200 MegaStack.

IPE Announce the Second Venue in the Mega Stack Series

Following on from our initial Mega Stack event at the Circus Casino in Blackpool, Independent Poker Events –www.ipeuk.com are delighted to announce the second venue in the Mega Stack Series.

The Mint Casino in Salford, Manchester will host a £200 + £20 NLHE Freeze out and the inaugural event will be held over the weekend of April 9th and 10th and on the second weekend of every month thereafter. As against two starting days, as is the case at Blackpool, IPE will be holding two Tiers for players on one day, Saturday 10th of April. This means players will have the choice of playing Tier One which will begin at 12 noon and conclude at 6-30pm OR Tier Two starting at 8pm and finishing at 2-30am on Sunday morning. The remaining players will return on the Sunday at 2pm to play to a conclusion. Yet again player comfort and enjoyment will be central to the event, with 9 handed tables the venue will have a capacity of 81 players on each Tier with a potential Prize Pool in excess of £32,000.

All the standard structures which have been refined throughout the first three Mega Stack events at Blackpool will be applied in Manchester with a 20k starting stack on a thirty minute clock. Full details can be found on the website www.ipeuk.com In addition the Mint Casino Mega Stack will have its very own Leader board competition (see website for full details). Live and Online satellite qualification with guaranteed seats to be held on both Genting and Circus Poker will give players the opportunity to qualify for a fraction of the actual buy-in. Again full details of all Sats will be available on the website. IPE have engaged with www.thenutz.tv to provide a full Live Webcast on the Final day which can also be viewed on IPE TV along with Twitter and Facebook updates throughout!!!

Full consideration to all of the detail is still in the pipeline and the IPE Team are working with Kath Barton, the GM at the Mint Casino, and her Team to bring together an event everyone will be proud of. IPE are also delighted to welcome Raf White as our Poker Host in Manchester and if any local players have any queries or questions Raf will be more than happy to answer them. 

Brief update.

We started with 64 players tonight, there's 29 registered so far for tomorrow. I haven't been given any updates this evening but just spoke to Rick, it's now level 10 1,000/2,000 ra200 27 players left, average stack is 47,000 RG currently has 10 x bb and it's time to shove!
