WSPDeepStacks is About to Begin with the $200,000 Guaranteed Opening Event
They are just a couple of hours away from the start of official events in the WPTDeepStacks London on 888poker. WPTDeepStacks #1: $200,000 Opening Event gets underway at 1 pm ET with Day 1 of the two-day event.
The $525 opening event kicks off three full weeks of World Poker Tour action on 888poker, with 28 events in total through Dec 21st. The series looks to be designed for no limit hold'em specialists, as all 28 events are NLHE, with no Omaha in the mix.
The opening day kicks off with the main $525 Opening Event, as well as a mini version of the same event for $55, with a guarantee of $75,000, to cater to the smaller bankrolls. While the Mini Opening Event is scheduled to finish out the action today, the big one is expected to bag up their virtual chips when they get to nine players remaining, to return tomorrow, Nov 29th, to finish it out for the big prizes. The final table will be streamed on 888pokerTV with hole cards shown on a 30-minute delay
Players will start the Opening Event with 20,000 in chips, which means they will start the day off with 250 big blinds. Registration is open for 215 minutes after cards go in the air, and players can rebuy as many as 3 times if they lose all their chips during that period.
With the start of the day a couple of hours away, there are already more than 50 players in the mix, and that number is sure to grow as the late registration period ticks down. Stay tuned here at PokerNews for all the exciting action today as the WPTDeepStacks London gets underway with Day 1 of WPTDeepStacks #1: $200,000 Opening Event.
