the video on their site is very well made, but the site itself looks like ****.

They claim they have a $30,000,000 gtd. tourney... kinda shady

But the video seems really high quality for this to be a hoax.

this is the group behind the supposed FTP negotiations. Just trying to get more publicity

Those screens in the stands are poker stars tables lol, seems like a hoax afterall.

Especially as we don't use dollars as currency in the uk. Maybe its Jamaican dollars or someting.

but are they pokerstars.fr tables?

A $30 million guarantee in a stadium suggesting they will have thousands of entrants for a tournament that will only be 3 days long? I don't know about this.

30mill for the whole TOUR probably XD

If it is a hoax I still think there is potential. The people in the stands would not be watching they would be playing. You buy a seat in the stadium and use software similar to the tables on cruise ships, poker pro I think. Lots of tourneys going on with everyone in the stadium and some with online players as well. You have your tablet or remote so you can protect your hole cards etc, plus you don't know where you opponents are anyway. The bigger events get played live in the infield when thy are down to dive tables or whatever. Hopefully they can cut rake and I guess rape everyone on food and beer. Add some hot chicks and music, a magic tournament ha ez game. You could do 30 mill in total buying including online no problem and in 2 day. Lots of infrastructure but you get subsidized by the stadium and they use it for other things. Got to do more with all the massive stadiums anyway. Only problem I guess is nobody cares about poker, get on that isildur.

Then just satellite people into the crazy place with a free international flight and a seat but no entry fees, package deal the flights, boost tourism etc etc

hold on. aint wembly a ***** stadium to play at because they keep using it for concerts and tea partys?

if itll be like a online major trny - who in hell would want to sit outside for 12 hours and single table that ish? rather then playing it from home and eat cheeos in your boxers?

Well unfortunately for the twoplustwo community, for this to work it would have to appeal to large percent of the population that considers a Sunday grind the same thing as WoW. But a I said for the smaller tourns there is no reason you could not play in your choice of underwear

Total train wreck. Lol fullfun. Really hope they can this asap.

Wow

This is quite ridiculous and I don't believe it.

How can you have a poker tournament in a football stadium.

In spring it rains in the UK quite a bit and Wembley doesn't have a roof. Players play in the rain?

it has a roof

If this were true they'd just make it a $1 billion guaranteed tourney to start with? :P

This is not going to be an effective way to round up all the poker players; sorry un

LOL yeah, best part of video (besides the chick at the end).

lol

i think that it would be pretty cool to do this and thats the only way i can see them maybe getting any decent amount of people there because lets face it, there is no chance in hell that many ppl would come to watch poker lol.

They're not going to install thousands of poker tablets in the seats in like eight months.

BUT the rest is doable if the organizers are crazy enough. WSOP Main Event prize pool was $64mil this year, so it's not like $30m is unheard of. And this tournament would basically just be one giant advertisement for Full Tilt so they'd probably be prepared to pay some overlay. Or hopefully succeed in getting REAL sponsors interested in poker finally, who'd pay a lot of the bill.

And the whole tourney wouldn't need to play in three days from scratch, it could start online and move to the stadium when the money bubble bursts. That way they'd get even more people returning to FT than they would just by running the online satellites to this thing (which would also create a lot of interest).

There's plenty of things that would stop this from happening, of course. But some people dream big and can make crazy ideas work.
