HK$103,000 High Roller Single Re-Entry Shot Clock Set To Start
Welcome back to the PokerStars Championship Macau at the City Of Dreams resort for the fifth and final installment of high octane, big buy-in tournament action. The HK$103,000 High Roller Single Re-Entry Shot Clock event will be starting shortly at 12pm local time (GMT+7).
This marks the last of the official High Roller events on the PSC calendar for this particular tournament series. Although there is another HK$103,000 Single Re-Entry beginning tomorrow at 8pm local time, neither PokerNews or the PokerStars blog team will be covering it so this is your last chance to satisfy those cravings for High Roller action, at least until the PokerStars Championship Monte-Carlo rolls around on 3 May.
So far our High Rolling competitors have generated an eye-popping HK$59,959,580 (~US$7,716,616) in prize money with today’s High Roller only guaranteed to add to this already impressive figure.
Once again the shot clock rules will be in effect with levels of 60 minutes each and a starting stack of 50,000, there will also be a 30-second shot clock which activates 5-seconds into every hand. Once this runs down players have three (30-second) time extension chips that come into play automatically once the initial 30-second clock has expired.
If a player has no more time bank chips and is first to act in the hand and there has been no action then they are counted as checking automatically. If there has been action and the player has no more time bank chips once the 30-seconds Shot Clock has counted down then their hand is declared dead – unless of course, they have already acted.
Thursday 6 April saw Germany’s Oliver Weis emerge victorious over the 47-strong (including re-entries) field to earn his largest ever career tournament score of HK$3,130,000 (~US$402,840) after taking down his first major title.
Cards will be in the air shortly so stay with us as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to see who has got what it takes to be the latest PokerStars High Roller Champion.
