The International Stadiums Poker Tour

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

The International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) is a poker tournament that takes place every year in a world-famous stadium. It is the biggest poker tournament in the world consisting of 30,000 players, and will be televised in more than 28 countries.

Set up by Bernard Tapie, his son Laurent Tapie and Prosper Masquelier, the first edition of the ISPT will take place in London's mythical Wembley Stadium. It is the biggest stadium in England and one of the biggest in the world, with a seating capacity of 90,000 and a retractable roof.

Apart from the online qualifications and the live final stage around real tables set up on the lawn of the stadium, ISPT will propose an unpublished game format, midway between online and live.
