Stake Poker has officially announced the upcoming Centurion Warm Up Phase 1, a No Limit Hold’em tournament carrying a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. Featuring a $100 buy-in, this event serves as a high value introduction to the platform's tournament schedule and is scheduled to begin in 12 days.
The Phase 1 event is structured with specific progression and entry guidelines. Play for this phase will conclude as soon as only 15 percent of the starting field remains. The surviving players from this flight will then advance directly to the next stage of the competition.
Stake Poker utilizes a First Stack Forward Policy for this tournament. Under this policy, players who successfully qualify for the final stage are not permitted to enter any additional flights.
However, if a player is eliminated before the phase officially ends, they are allowed to attempt to qualify again in subsequent sessions.
Registration Details
Registration for the Centurion Warm Up is scheduled to open on May 25 at 5 PM GMT. For players who are unable to join the action right at the start, a late registration period will remain open for two hours.
The technical details and structures for the tournament include:
- Starting Stack: 20,000 chips
- Table Format: 8 players per table, which shifts to 9 players for the final table
- Field Capacity: A minimum of 6 players is required to run, with a maximum capacity of 10,000 players
- Re-entry Limits: Players are allowed a maximum of 9 re-entries at $100 each
The tournament format does not permit any rebuys or add-ons. This makes the 20,000 chip starting stack and the maximum allowed re-entries the primary components of the chip economy for the event.
