Tournament Rules

Action Clock:
The Action Clock will be put into play on each Day 1 at the conclusion of level 15. Each player will receive four (4) time extensions when the Action Clock is put into play. Each player will receive four (4) additional time extension chips at the start of Day 2. Each player will receive four (4) additional time extension chips when twenty-four (24) players remain. Each player will receive four (4) additional time extension chips when nine (9) players remain. See Action Clock rules for details. Time extension chips will accumulate and not be reset. See additional Action Clock Rules for more details.
Ante Format (Big Blind Ante):
Single ante will be posted by the player in the big blind. Big blind comes before the ante when a player has less than a big blind and ante amount, per new TDA recommendation.
Breaks:
40 Minute levels: Players will have a 15-minute break every 3 levels. 60 Minute levels: Players will have a 15-minute break every 2 levels. Day 1 flights will be provided a 45 minute dinner break after level 9. Day 2 TBD.
Buy-In & Fees:
$1,000 +$150 CAD
Late Registration:
Registration will close at the start of Level 10 on each Day 1.
Levels, Per Day:
Day 1: 40 minutes per level until the field reaches the money (12.5%). Day 2: play will be determined by Tournament Director. Final Table: 60 minutes per level until two (2) players remain, 30-minute levels thereafter.
Payouts:
One in eight (1-in-8) entries will be in the money (approximately 12.5%). Winners must show valid ID to collect winnings. $10,400 USD will be withheld from the prize pool and issued to 1st Place in the form of an entry to the WPT World Championship held in Las Vegas.
Players Per Table:
Day 1’s will play 9-handed. Day 2 onward will play 8-handed, space permitting. In the event that Day 2 begins 9-handed, tables will be balanced to accommodate 8- handed play at the Tournament Director’s discretion. The Final Table is 9-handed.
Players Card & Players Releases:
In order to play in the event, each player must sign the WPT Player Release Form and have the Playground Rewards Card.
Registration & Re-Entry Rules:
Players will start with 40,000 in tournament chips. Late registrants and alternates will begin with a full starting stack. Tournament chip stacks will be put into play at the start of the event for all registered players who have been issued a table and seat assignment. At the conclusion of the registration period, all paid entries (including alternates) who have yet to take their seat will be assigned a seat and their chips will be put into play. If a player entered into any starting day and has been eliminated from the tournament, the player may re-enter or register for a subsequent starting day. If there are multiple bags, the lower stack can be forfeited, resulting in a minimum payout (if applicable).
Seating Redraws:
A redraw will occur at the conclusion of each Day 1. The final redraws will take place at 24, 16, and 9 players during the normal course of play.
