Macau Business Daily – PokerStars Macau has announced that PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams will host the 20th instalment of the Macau Poker Cup in January. The schedule will include an HK$8 million (US$1.03 million) guaranteed prize pool for the Red Dragon main event.
The tournament will run from January 10 to 21 at Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd’s City of Dreams resort on Cotai.
The buy-in for the Red Dragon event is set at HK$11,000. That, combined with the size of the guaranteed prize pool, means 800 players will be needed to cover the prize money. In April PokerStars Macau hosted a record-breaking field of 891 players in the Macau Poker Cup.
“After six years and 19 Red Dragon events, the Macau Poker Cup has changed the landscape of poker in Macau and throughout Asia,” said Danny McDonagh, PokerStars director of Live Poker Operations in the Asia-Pacific. “The MPC is Asia’s biggest regional poker series and MPC 20 is set to shatter all previous records,” he added.
Along with the Red Dragon, the January 2014 Macau Poker Cup schedule will feature a new event called the ‘Baby Dragon’. Set to run on the first weekend of the tournament schedule, the event is a HK$6,000 buy-in and features a HK$1 million guaranteed prize pool.
