In 2 hours, Event 2, a $135 + $15 No Limit Hold’em Shootout tournament is set to begin. Although we work hard to make sure that all events in a series are fun for players, a Shootout event is always one with EXTRA Fun injected.
Unlike a regular freezeout tournament in which the whole field is competing against the whole rest of the field, in a Shootout tournament when you start, you’re only competing with the players on your starting table – and to progress to the money, you have to WIN your table.
There is a hard cap of 100 participants (10 tables) in the Shootout, which gets going at 5pm tonight.
