2013 PUB POKER PLAYER CHAMPIONSHIP
Player registration will open at 12:00 - ALL PLAYERS will register at the player desk (hosted by Kim and MTS) to confirm their arrival. Players will NOT need to register with the Casino - just at the Registration Desk.
Any spare places that are available for buy in on the day will be at this Registration Point also - cash only and only at Tier 3 level (£30). THERE ARE STILL SPACES AVAILABLE TO PLAY.
At 13:45 registration will close and the Table Draw will be produced and displayed on the Casino screens. Players will be asked to take their seats immediately for a prompt 14:00 start - allowing for an introduction and redemption of "chip up" tokens so all start with the correct starting stacks. All players will be given a 5k stack upon seating, and then redeem the tokens to be increased to a 10/15k stack before commencement of play.
Unlimited rebuys are available for £10 (5,000 chips) with 1 double add-on available at the first break to all players (£20 = 10,000 chips). Rebuys are available as soon as your stack size is 5k or below.
A player MAY, if gone bust within the rebuy period, take a rebuy twice (so 10k for £20) in line with the above, straight away.
Upon resumption of play after the first break, the tournament becomes a freezeout and no further rebuys/addons are permitted. Once you are out, you are out.
All eliminated players MUST report to Kim at the Admin Desk for result recording (you may also tell her your bad beat story - she loves those!)
Prize money and places will be confirmed AFTER the first break and displayed on the tournament screen.
Deals for the cash are allowed but ONLY with unanimous agreement - if 1 player does not agree, the default structure remains in operation - no exceptions.
