Key Takeaways
  • Day 1 tournaments on Lock and Poker770 postponed after not enough players registering to play.
  • ISPT officially explain the delay due to “technical issues.”
  • 17 players did successfully win Day 2 seats through PartouchePoker.FR.

The International Stadiums Poker Tour faces yet more woe as Lock Poker had to cancel its first Day 1a satellite after only two people registered.

The satellite has been postponed and will now run next weekend. Poker770 also had to cancel two satellites to the Day 1a satellite. A €2.20 rebuy and €11 freezeout both failed to meet the minimum number of entries to run.

So far, 13 places have been awarded to the event due to take place in Wembley Stadium at the beginning of June. The successful satellite was run on Partouche Poker, a french regulated site owned by the family of Prosper Masquelier, one of the event organizers.

The official ISPT twitter account stated the Lock tournament is postponed until December 17 due to “technical issues.”

Expectations have been reduced at every stage as the event has failed to live up to the marketing hype with which it was launched. Guarantees were reduced, then abandoned. Forecasts of player numbers have dropped each month.
