So, ISPT are now saying it WILL take place on the pitch at wembley.

Somebody tweeted this article to them

http://www.pokernewsreport.com/ispt-...-wembley-11787

Which quotes carfax saying it will be at the conference center.

They replied

Quote:

Hello Mathieu, je vous confirme de manière officielle la tenue du tournoi sur la pelouse et non dans la conférence de presse.

Which translates to

Quote:

Hello Matthew, I can confirm officially tournament is held on the lawn and not in the press conference.

They followed up with

Quote:

Merci de ne pas relayer des informations erronées de ce site qui publie sans vérifier les informations qu'il avance.

Translation

Quote:

Thank you for not relaying false information this site which publishes information without checking it beforehand.

Last nights day 1a on poker770 was cancelled.

However on lock, they gave away 25 seats to day 1a so got just over 30 runners. So 3 people through to day 2.

On partouche.be they apparently got 48 runners, so 4 more through. I don't think I've seen partouche.be mentioned anywhere before.

They made this announcement today

Because, if you're organising an event in London, it makes sense to have French, Belgian, Italian and Romanian partners, but no British ones.

"International Stadiums Poker Tour, for the first tourney, sit in the conference center at Wembley Stadium and play a tournament with a fantastic view of an empty stadium through the window. The first tournament ever to be held near an empty stadium!"

I have just been sent the link to this. This is not an ISPT press release, it's from a french web site acting on rumours who are completely unconnected with ISPT and any of its partners.

At this point I'd give a random website acting on rumours at least as much credibility as the ISPT. If not more.

I will lol so hard if it does turn out to be DTD, both from the "wtf are DTD thinking" angle as well as the "ISPT are bad at handling press leaks" one.

Also, as far as I know, DTD don't have a track record of running a tournament of type or size...

They already said that 70% of the remaining field will get paid. People have already played day 1, making it through 90% of the field. They can't (or shouldn't) make massive changes to the payout schedule so they would need to much more than a 1 million prize pool for that.

Carfax used this hashtag on twitter earlier: #ISPTAddedmoney. So it seems there will be added money.

We'll just have to wait for official word from ISPT.
