Matt Stout a professional poker player commented on the new poker series created on the Merge Gaming Network by stating: “This is a big step in the right direction that we’ve all been pushing for at Lock Poker. We’ve worked hard to build a solid multi-table tournament schedule on the site and now it’s time to kick off our very first big multi-table tournament series with a three-week schedule. I can’t wait.”
