Game Details

Short deck is played with a 36-card deck; the twos, threes, fours, and fives are removed from a standard 52-card deck. Aces are still both low and high, so the ace-nine makes a "wheel" straight. Hand rankings are slightly adjusted because of the short deck as well. A flush beats a full house in this game, all other rankings remain the same. The entire table antes every hand and the button player pays a double ante; no blinds are used.

Day 1 will feature eight 60-minute levels with breaks after every two levels. Play will be six-handed and a 30-second shot clock will be in play. Each entry gets you 60,000 chips and one reentry is allowed. Players will be given three bullets of 20,000 chips to use how they like, but all add-on chips must be taken by close of registration. Cards will get in the air at 3 p.m. local time.

PokerNews will be on hand to cover this exciting event from start to finish to see who will claim the next estimable gold bracelet.
