Wembley $30 million tournament

Monday, October 24th, 2011

A $30 million guaranteed live tournament has been announced in London, as part of a new International Stadiums Poker Tour. It is planned to take place at Wembley Stadium, home of internation football games.

It is going to use a rather unusual combination of electronic playing stations, within the stadium itself. ie a sort of a live/online cross-breed. Once the field size reduces it will then become a live tournament in the center of the stadium (where the pitch would normally be).

Initial plans are for it to be a $1000 buy-in with 30,000 entrants targeted.
