ISPT Partners With Staking Site MyPokerSquad
November 23, 2012 1:57 pmAhead of its scheduled May 31st, 2013, kick-off at Wembley Stadium, the International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) has announced a new partnership deal with staking platform MyPokerSquad.
The inaugural ISPT tournament next year is expected to attract 30,000 players putting up €600 each, with one rebuy and a double add-on available to create an expected prize pool worth €20 million. Now, the poker community will also have the opportunity to acquire an extra piece of the action by owning a piece of each of the 120 strong MyPokersquad team, in addition to any of the ISPT ambassador. As a press release explained following the deal:
“We now offer a simple and effective way to grind more, while maximizing our player bankroll and player’s talents in a pro team. MyPokerSquad is proud to become the official partner of the ISPT, the most innovative adventure in poker.”
MyPokerSquad has had a presence in France and Belgium for over three years and grown steadily as stakers invest in its Belgian and French player contingent. However, the new agreement with ISPT comes as the company prepares to lauch its UK and Germany-based operation thus opening access to their most talented players.
ISPT ambassadors so far include Patrik Antonius, Liz Lieu, Sam Trickett, Michael Mizrachi and David Benyamine, who, following announcement of the deal, commented: “MyPokerSquad offers new opportunities for pro players, extending its staking system worldwide. This is a new way for all players to take part in ISPT. I am pleased to bring my experience to this project.”
The International Stadiums Poker Tour is the brain-child of Groupe Bernard Tapei and has organized the Wembley Stadium tournament to include two days of online play, followed by the remaining 3,000 players being transferred to real tables set up on the field, who will then take four days to play down to an eventual winner.
