Chuc Khuu’s Views On the Shot Clock

We asked Chuc Khuu, one of the players in the tournament, at the last break for his opinion on the Shot Clock that is being used in the Main Event here for the first time.

Khuu thought it was a good idea as it was speeded up the game and is in favour of evolving and speeding up the live game such as the player on the button paying all the antes.

One thing Khuu would change though is the number of Time Bank chips the players are allotted.

“Two seems not enough for a nine hours of play,” Khuu said, “I think four would be better.”

Khuu had already used on of his chips and faced the prospect of 7 more levels of tough poker with just one more extra minute’s thinking time.

At the start of each day all the players will reset to two Time Bank chips.
