muttley Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 After the great success of the Megastack comps in Blackpool and Salford, IPE (www.ipeuk.com) have announced two new venues starting soon. I've played in three of these events and they have been great. Big starting stack, good clock, guaranteed prize pool and well run. The format has been developed to give players what they have been asking for, so loads of play, even in the later stages, as opposed to the usual "shove or fold" final tables. Here's the announcement from IPE After huge successes with both MegaStack Events in Blackpool & Manchester respectively; Independent Poker Events; “I.P.E†are extremely delighted to announce the next 2 venues in our exciting and ever- growing MegaStack series. These are to be held @ Circus Casino, Newcastle & @ Circus Casino, Liverpool. We can confirm both events at these exciting new venues will again be a £200 + £20 Buy-In, 2 Day Event. “Newcastle MegaStack #1†event; Saturday the 18th June (Day 1: Flight A & B) & Sunday the 19th June (Final Day). “Liverpool MegaStack #1†event; Saturday the 25th June (Day 1: Flight A & B) & Sunday the 26th June (Final Day). With an amazing £20,000 guaranteed PrizePool for EACH event. This MegaStack series of events really are proving to attract poker enthusiasts & circuit professionals from across the U.K. **The Circus Casino, Newcastle has an impressive 15 table cardroom and therefore capacity for 135 runners + alternates on either flight; a rather thrilling potential for a GRAND TOTAL of 270 players + alternates for any given MegaStack Event held there! **The Circus Casino, Liverpool also holds an exciting 12 table cardroom and therefore capacity for 108 runners + alternates on either flight; again with a huge potential for a GRAND TOTAL of 216 players + alternates for any given MegaStack Event held @ this superb venue!
