Shootout the lights!

Tonight’s tournament is Event 2 in the PokerStars Canada Cup and it’s a $135 + $15 No Limit Hold’em Shootout. With a hard player cap of 100 players its certain to sell out – in fact the event is 1/3 sold-out already.

The Shootout event is one of the most “pure” tournament formats you can find. Players start on a 10-handed table and have to beat everyone else on that table before moving on to the next round. For a player to do well they have to be a good full-ring player – but they also have to be comfortable with short-handed poker – and having experience in short-handed formats is a huge advantage.

The event starts at 6pm tonight – see you here!
