Welcome to the 2024 SunBet Poker Tour Time Square Main Event!

Christian Zetzsche

The SunBet Poker Tour is the newest and most exciting poker series in South Africa and has been launched in a partnership between the Monster Jam Poker Tour (MJPT) and Sun International Group, the leading South African gaming and hospitality company. From February 28 until March 10, 2024, the SunBet Poker Tour is taking place at the Time Square Casino in Pretoria with 12 major tournaments scheduled in as many days.

All eyes will be on the SunBet Poker Tour Time Square Main Event, which is slated to play down to a winner throughout the next five days. The tournament features a buy-in of ZAR15,000 (~$790) and comes with a guarantee of ZAR5,000,000 (~$263,400) whereas the entire festival offers ZAR12,000,000 in guarantees.

A total of four different starting days are available with Day 1a to Day 1c featuring a level duration of 50 minutes each. The registration for each heat will conclude upon completion of level ten with unlimited re-entries available during that period. Each Day 1 will play 15 levels or down to 15% of each respective field. Cash prizes will be distributed as of Day 2 as one out of eight entries will be in the money.

All players start with 40,000 in chips and that makes for a deep structure right away, as the initial blinds will be 100-200 with a big blind ante of 200. A long day at the tables can be expected with a 60-minute dinner break after level seven at approximately 6:35 p.m. local time.

Day 1a will kick off at noon local time and the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor from start to finish for the first time right here in South Africa.
