Shot Clock Rulings

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

The 888poker shot clock was used for the first time at an Aspers tournament in the High Roller over the previous two days without any problems. It took a little getting used to, especially for the dealers who have the task of keeping an eye on the timer and controlling the action.

Today though there have been a few table rulings by the floor as the concept beds in. On one table a player was unaware that the time had run out and his hand was declared dead. The dealers do usually announce when there is 10 seconds left to act but the ultimate responsibility rests with the player. They also have two 60-second time bank chips to use.

On another table a player acted out of turn and claimed that the pressure of the timer ticking down had confused him into making a hasty bet before the action was on his.

Overall the feedback from the majority of players has been positive but with one or two kinks to iron out.

Up to 61 players including Yilfer Shevket who finished 3rd and cashed for £1,800 in the Turbo Deepstack at the 888Live Poker Festival at Aspers a few days ago.

888Live Brings Shot Clock to London Festival

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Shot Clock - 30 Seconds To Act
Shot Clock - 30 Seconds To Act

For the first time in 888Live tournaments Aspers will see the introduction of the Shot Clock.

Once the dealer has dealt the last card in a hand they operate the timer and the 'Shot Clock' begins and each player will be given a 30 seconds to act.

If a player is facing a bet or raise, the timer will begin only after their chips are counted and the number of chips required to call are stated. Players also have two Time Bank Chips, each of which will add an extra 60 seconds to the timer in the event that they need more time to reach a decision.

You can read more about the Shot Clock which will be used in the Main Event.
