The Stacks IV – Day 1 – The Warm-up
Publish date: August 22, 2023

Hey, Poker Playas!

So the war has started! since we can not cover everything. We would cover what is nearest to us first.

We are now at 2Ace Poker – The Stacks IV and it is looking great!

More on that in the coverage section.a

But for today the schedule is the Warm-up and as of writing, there are now 3 tables running at level 2.

2Ace Poker was the second to announce their event but due to the restriction. It was only allowed to hold PHP 800,000 GTD for the main event.

But let us get on it!

The Stacks IV

Superstack

Its a wrap!

98 players joined the Superstack today and 15 players qualified for the finals that will be held at 2 PM tomorrow (August 23, 2023)

Jharome Pena, PPT 2023 Champion is the chip leader.

Although 2Ace poker did not hit the guarantee. Still, it is a very good number as they only needed two more players to hit the guarantee.

The Malate players made their presence felt as they came in force.

But the final is tomorrow and the game has just begun.

Tomorrow the Main event will also start and it is value for the money as 2Ace will stick with a 40,000 starting stack and 30 minutes per level.

The Guarantee is lessened but so is the buy-in which makes this tournament highly recommendable.

With 15 players remaining that is set to return by 2 PM and the Main event starting at 3 PM. Day 1A is definitely looking good for 2 Ace poker
