It's Time For the $1,150 Monster Stack at the WSOPC The Star Sydney
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.
