Caesars Mega Stack Series of Poker Tournaments Begins

Caesars Mega Stack Series is running almost every day in the month of February. The first event began on Feb. 1, and the series concludes on Feb. 26. This tournament is very popular with the Las Vegas poker crowd, as many players fill the room for the large starting stacks that the tournament provides. Eleven of the 27 events will have Card Player Player of the Year points up for grabs.

Every event in the Mega Stack Series will feature no-limit hold’em, and there will be a couples tournament on Valentine’s Day, Saturday, Feb. 14. The Mega Stack championship begins on Tuesday, Feb. 24, and it will run for three days, crowning a champion on Thursday, Feb. 26. Blind levels will run 60 minutes for the Mega Stack championship and 50 minutes for all other events. A mega-satellite for the championship event will run on Monday, Feb. 23 at 5 p.m. The buy-in is $150, and players will receive 4,000 in chips, with a $10 staff bonus add-on option for 2,000 additional chips. Blind levels will be 25 minutes long for the satellite.

Here is a look at the starting stacks for the various buy-ins offered in the series:
