Tonight’s event – the $135 + $15 NL Hold’em Shootout – has become one of the most popular events among all of the side events we offer. The shootout format is slightly different than a normal poker tournament. Each player will start on a table and must WIN that table to move on in the tournament. In a way, a shootout tournament is among the “purest” of tournament forms – you have to be successful in a full ring format and then, as players are eliminated, you have to be pretty good at shorthanded poker as well, until finally you are heads-up against your opponent – another distinct test of poker skills.
The action gets underway at 6pm – and be sure to register early, because these events have often sold out in the past.
