Dusk Till Dawn Increases size of March Deepstack
This was published 28-02-2012Dusk Till Dawn, the Nottingham-based poker club, has revealed that they will be enhancing their regular GBP 500 Monthly Deepstack tournament which is due to take place this weekend by increasing the guaranteed prizepool to a whopping GBP 250,000.
The March Monthly Deepstack will be awarding the biggest payout for a GBP 500 buy-in tournament in the history ofUKpoker as a result of this increase in the guaranteed prize funds with the winner receiving GBP 75,000 at the very least.
The regularMonte Carloevent has been replaced by the Monthly Deepstack due to the fact that Dusk Till Dawn is oversaturated with tournaments in the GBP 1,000 buy-in price bracket during March.
The popular 500 Deepstack, is a GBP 500+GBP 60 buy-in event that will take place this weekend at the Nottingham-based club with its increased guaranteed prizepool.
Simon Trumper, Dusk Till Dawn’s live poker director, revealed that they had penciled in a GBP 1,000 Monte Carlo event with a GBP 250,000 GTE but after reviewing their schedule for March and April they realized that it was very congested at that buy-in level.
Trumper added “we also wanted to ensure that ourMonte Carloplayers still get the opportunity to play for a £250,000 prize pool, so the best way to keep everyone happy seemed to supersize the £500 Deepstack GTE to £250,000 but keep the buy-in.”
There are two starting days for the 500 Deepstack with Day 1a kicking off at 14 00 on Friday, March 2 and Day 1b commencing at 14 00 on Saturday, March 3.
Due to the fact that the 500 Deepstack is a re-entry tournament like the majority of the Dusk Till Dawn majors, players who lose their 30,000 starting stack on Day 1a will have the opportunity to re-enter with a full stack on Day 1b.
