Limit Hold'em enthusiasts, hold on tight, for today at Crown, it's the only game on tap. Event 3, a $1,100 Limit Hold'em tournament, is scheduled to get underway at half past midday and is the only individual limit hold'em event of the entire series.

A few changes have been incorporated into this year's structure, all of which were geared toward enhancing the player experience. The most significant modification was the addition of a second day of play. Last year's event was played out in one very full day that didn't wrap up until 5:00 a.m. the following morning. This time around, the tentative plan is to play down to a final table and recommence play tomorrow afternoon.

In addition to the bonus day, players who pony up the $1,100 entry fee this afternoon will be treated to a slightly slower structure than at last year's event, in the form of a brand new 25/25 blind level that has been added to the front end of the structure.

Last year's winner Zachary Gruneberg bested a solid field of 140 runners to take home the $35,000 AUD first prize. The final table at that same event was loaded with notables, including Jesse Maguire, Grant Levy, James Obst, Bruno Portaro, David Bach and Billy 'The Croc' Argyros.
