Feeling lucky lately? Then make sure you keep your diary free from 6 to 11 November as the World Poker Tour DeepStacks festival is descending on our Grand Casino Brussels for the sixth time running. The Greek Ioannis Angelou-Konstas was victorious at the successful spring edition in March. He walked away with an impressive €75,000. Talk about a winning hand!

The autumn edition of WPT DeepStacks will take no less than six days. Just under a week of healthy excitement, bluffing, tactics and a bunch of winning aces. Let’s see what’s on the agenda:

A good start is half the job done

Would you like to warm up first and perfect your poker face before starting the real work? This can be done at the €400 buy-in WPT DeepStacks Opener. An unlimited number of entries are allowed at this first event and you begin with a stack of 25,000 in chips. The opener is divided over three days, always in blind levels of half an hour, with two start flights: Day 1A on 6 November and Day 1B on 7 November. The final is then played on 8 November.

The real deal

Are you all warmed up and have you sufficiently sniffed up the poker festival’s atmosphere? Then it’s time for the real work: the €1200 WPT DeepStacks Main event from 8 to 11 November. This is what it’s all about! The tournament has two start flights, each with blind levels of 40 minutes and one re-entry per starting day. The final has blind levels of 60 minutes. Good to know: you begin the Main event with 30,000 in chips.

Raising the stakes

Running hot? Then you may feel like raising the stakes (and the excitement) a little at the €2200 High Rollers event on 10 and 11 November. Play with the big boys for the big bucks. The tournament starts on Saturday 10 November at 6 pm so players who get stuck on the final of the Main event can give it another try.  You begin with 50,000 in chips in blind levels of 40 minutes. This event has an unlimited number of re-entries.

“This is a man’s world but…

It wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman”. James Brown was absolutely right. Poker still bears the label as being mainly for men, but these past few years more and more women are taking part in poker tournaments and this should be encouraged. This is why there will be a €60 buy-in Ladies event on 9 November at the WPT DeepStacks Brussels. It concerns a freezeout poker tournament with levels of 20 minutes. So if you are a woman with an incredible poker face and mad poker skills then take your chance at this Ladies event!

Don’t miss our live satellites every Monday and Wednesday throughout October and try your chance to win a Main Event Ticket.
