There have been many new poker tours jumping into the mix since Black Friday sent the online poker world under, and many of them have aimed to hit different specific audiences. This one will give all different types of players the chance to compete in a tournament which should be incredibly popular from the word go. With the likes of the World Series of Poker, the World Poker Tour, and many other various poker tours taking in the online poker players who are looking for action, the Deep Stack Poker Tour is the newest of them all to be released. The tournament will kick off in early 2012, and gives players the chance to compete in large poker tournaments with big named players, and outstanding prize pools guaranteed as well.
The action will start in February, and will have many stops all across North America. The buy-in’s are fan and player friendly, and will also be televised so that poker fans can keep up with the action and the big names in the events as well. It has yet to be released about which TV station that the tournaments will be aired on, but it has been said that the commentators for the action will be Tristan “Cre8ive” Wade, and Joe Stapleton.
The first tournament in February kicks off on the 15th and will run until the 19th. It features a $1,500 buy-in and will take place in Niagara Falls, New York, at the Seneca Niagara Casino. The guarantee for the event will start with at least $200k in the prize pool. The poker pros who will be included at the event could be a major selling point to players and fans though, as they are already expecting many of the “Team DeepStack Pros” to be taking part. This list includes players like Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Adam “Roothlus” Levi, Karina Jett, Randal Flowers, Justin Smith, and Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh Matt Graham.
