The start of the tournament has been delayed. They are waiting until they have enough players to start the tournament.
Multiple players have already said they were interested in playing the tournament. Among those players are Steve O’Dwyer, Joris Ruijs, and Stefan Wolzak.
Two years ago in 2016, the Master Classics of Poker celebrated their 27th anniversary. The tournaments series did that with a big schedule and, for the first time ever in the Netherlands, a €25,500 Super High Roller.
The first edition in 2016 attracted a total of 13 entries. The one and only Ole Schemion managed to take down the tournament for €160,875. Frank Williams got second (€95,525), and Charlie Carrell ended up taking home the third place prize (€64,350). Other players that competed that year but didn’t end up on the podium and in the money include Steve O’Dwyer, Bryn Kenney, Govert Metaal, and Pierre Neuville.
The tournament didn’t run in 2017 with too few people interested in playing the tournament. The tournament today is scheduled to take off at 2 p.m. local time, but that might be subject to change. Joris Ruijs has shown interest in playing the tournament and Patrik Antonius announced on Facebook that he was going to play the tournament. Who knows what Super High Rollers might still show up in the beautiful Holland Casino Amsterdam.
They are scheduled to play 60-minute levels and they will play eight-handed. It is an unlimited reentry tournament and the registration period is open until the start of Day 2. All the tournaments at the Master Classics of Poker are played with the big blind ante and this tournament is no exception. All players will start with 30,000 in chips and the first level of the tournament is 100/100 without an ante. The tournament has the same structure as the Main Event at the Master Classics of Poker.
