Bellagio deep stack tournaments get even deeper

May 30, 2008

Starting in June, the Bellagio in Las Vegas will make increase the starting chip stacks for all of its daily tournaments, and for the major tournaments played there as well.

Currently, the Bellagio runs a daily $540 buy-in (3,000 chips) and a $1,080 buy-in on the weekends (5,000 chips). According to cardplayer.com, the schedule will change:

A $1,080 buy-in tournament with 10,000 starting stacks will run Sunday-Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday, the buy-in will increase to $2,100 with 20,000 in starting chips. Daily tournaments will be suspended on July 1 for the start of the Bellagio Cup IV, but will return on July 18 with normal buy-ins. The increased starting chip stacks will remain at 10,000 for the $1,080 buy-in tournament, and the $540 buy-in tournament will double its starting stack to 6,000 in chips. Levels are 40 minutes long for all daily tournaments.

Whole thing here.

For the major tournaments at the Bellagio — the Bellagio Cup IV, Festa Al Lago Classic, and Five-Diamond World Poker Classic — players will start with an amount of chips that is three times the initial buy-in.
