Sam Trickett announced via his Twitter that he had signed up as an International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) ambassador.
ISPT, preparing what is supposed to be the biggest poker tournament ever, is tuning up its advertising campaign to get players coming to the mega-tourney in 2013. They have already signed 3-times WSOP and 2-times WPT champion Micahel Mizrachi and then got Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) as a supporter organization.
Most recently, ISPT has announced the signing of another world class player, Sam Trickett, as a tournament ambassador.
“I just want to announce that I will be an @ispt_poker official ambassador. Will be one of the Biggest tournaments ever held May 31, 2013,” Trickett tweeted.
Through online and live satellites will the approximately 20.000 to 30.000 players qualify for one of the seats in the Wembley Stadium for the first time in an ISPT event between 31 May, 2013 and 6 July, 2013. The tens of thousands of players will play simultaneously; however, not on the field but at touch screen pads in the seats of the stands. Once the player pool drops to 3,000, players will take their seats on the field at live tables – this is also the money bubble. The final table will be 10-handed and the guaranteed prize pool of the event €20 million.
With Trickett, another of the most influential figures of poker line up behind ISPT: the British player won the European Poker Awards Player of the Year title and finished 2nd in the WSOP $1,000,000 Big One event, among other achievements.
