Tonight in the Spring Classic is Event 5, a $200 + $20 Pot Limit Omaha 3 Lives event. This is always a popular format at Playground Poker Club so the event should attract a good-sized field. This is a one-day event.
“3 Lives” means that players start with 3 “Life Chips” that they can exchange for T10K in tournament chips at any time in the first four levels (until the first break). Players come at this event with several different approaches – some try and run up their first 10K and use the remaining 2 life chips at the break as an add-on, others put all 30K in chips in play from the beginning, and others treat it simply as a virtual rebuy tournament – and the interplay between these different styles is one of the interesting wrinkles in the format.
Good luck to all of the players!
