Noon UTC Start Time for Event #61: $300 Monster Stack NLHE 6-Handed
At noon UTC, it will be time for another event on the GGPoker WSOP Online Events schedule as Event #61: $300 Monster Stack NLHE 6-Handed gives players a shot at winning a brand new shiny WSOP bracelet at a time which is more focused on the Asian market as this is one of the special Asia Time Zone Events.
Aaron "fishnchip" Wijaya, Roberto Romanello, Sung Joo "ArtePokerTV" Hyun, Paul Teoh, Frank "Sbma2016" Crivello, and Luis "Xapilskinha" Assuncao Garla have already claimed their bracelets in these events which have an earlier start time than the others and will probably be back online today to try and follow in the footsteps of Alek "astazz" Stasiak who has won two already.
Players will get 50,000 chips in their starting stacks and play 15-minute levels until the final table. The late registration will remain open for the first 3.5 hours with players having the possibility to reenter twice during that time. The Bubble Protection feature has been activated for this event which means that players who registered before the start will get their buy-in refunded if they happen to get eliminated during the bubble.
The 6-handed format of the tournament means that the players will have a maximum of six players at their tables until the final table which will be 9-handed. At this time, the duration of the levels will vary as they will go up after every 30 hands.
PokerNews will be here from the first pot has been awarded until the final hand has been played, so make sure to follow along with all the titillating action from the start.
