Registration for Event 10, the $500 + $50 2-day Freeze, will remain open through the first 6 levels and break, which means players still have until 9:15pm to enter. Registration is nearing the 100 entries mark at this point, and players are steadily rolling in.

It’s not too late to join in the action and take home a piece of the prize pool!

Event 10 of the TonyBet Winter Festival, which features a deepstack structure and a hefty $500 + $50 buy-in, is all set and ready to begin!

This tournament will be played over 2 days, or rather 2 evenings, and includes gradual blind levels. The first 6 levels will be set at 20 minutes long, and will then increase to 30 minutes long until the final table is reached, where they will jump up to 40 minutes long. This event was designed to allow players to participate in a big buy-in event without necessarily impeding on business hours or weekend time – hence the weeknight starting times. Day 1 will play through 16 levels, and the remaining players will then return tomorrow evening for the conclusion of the event.

The tournament is now underway, and late registration will remain open until the end of the break following level 6, or roughly 9:10pm. Come down to Canada’s premiere poker destination and join in the action!

See you on the felts!

*note there was a minor adjustment made to the structure: instead of levels 1 through 10 being 20 minutes long, it will actually only be levels 1 through 6 which will be 20 minutes long, and the rest (until the final table) will increase to 30 minutes long.

Over the years we have had many requests for larger buy-in tournaments that nevertheless run on weekday evenings – that don’t require players to take time off work in order to play. Well, those players’ wish is our command!

Tonight at 7pm is the beginning of Day 1 of Event 10, a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Freezeout that will begin tonight and conclude with Day 2 tomorrow night. Late registration is open for more than 2 hours tonight – you can register in the event any time until 9:15.
