Things are winding down here at The World Series of Poker International Circuit The Star Sydney and it's time to kick off the second to last event of the series; The $1,150 Monster Stack. As you would guess buy its name, players start in this event with a massive stack of 50,000 chips. The event also features 30-minute levels and is a two-day event. Action is set to kick off at 2:15 p.m. local time, so things are just about to begin.
Last year's event brought our 403 runners and created a prizepool of $403,000. The eventual winner of the event was Timothy Mitchell of New Zealand. Mitchell bested a final table with the likes of Tony Tavella, Jacob Horowitz, and Rafe Aman to lock up a first place prize of $88,684, his biggest recorded score ever. Only time will tell if Mitchell returns to defend his title or not.
The event has a guaranteed prizepool of $400,000 and is planned to play 16, 30-minute levels here on Day 1 or until a final table is reached. Play begins with blinds of 50/100 and players will begin with 50,000 chips. Action will kick off at 2:15 p.m. local time. Players will have a 10-minute break every two hours. This event is a freezout, so players will only be able to buy-in one time.
PokerNews will be here throughout the event providing coverage, so make sure to tune in.
