ISPT Poker Tournament – London 2012

The ISPT – International Stadiums Poker Tour -  is a new organization much like the EPT, WPT and WSOP. The 2012 ISPT London event is going to be the largest poker tournament ever played if the forecasts are correct. Image 30,000 players in London’s Wembley Stadium. Each player will have a PC tablet or custom built computer terminal that they will use to play in the tournament. After a couple hours the ISPT will move the top 3,000 players to the center field. These players will put down their tablets and start playing poker the old fashioned way. The thousands of other players will continue to play at the terminals hoping to accumulate enough chips to be moved down onto the field.

All of these players will be competing for $30 million dollars. The winning of the ISPT London event will take home a cool $10 million dollars. The International Stadiums Poker Tour is a brand new company with a brand new concept. The plan is to host an ISPT event each year in countries around the world and each will be played in a stadium.

Backing the ISPT are two people who have been in the news quite often recently. Bernard and Laurent Tapie are the founders of the ISPT. Bernard is the new owner of Full Tilt Poker. This billionaire business man and his son Laurent will set a world record with the ISPT London tournament.

Hopefully the success of this event will carry over into the reorganized poker room Fulltilt Poker. Seats at the ISPT can be won at various online poker sites and casinos. These seats will be available starting in January, 2012.
