For the first time in 888Live Tournaments Aspers is using a Shot Clock for the Main Event. The way it works is 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 here.
So far 53 players have made it through to Day 2 and today is likely to be the busiest day so far but don’t be late as there is a prize give away that should not be missed
888poker in conjunction with Aspers Casino are offering 50 people the chance to win a Kitvision Immerse 360° Video Action Camera to the first 50 players who register for the Main Event. You can read all about the offer and the VR Camera here.
