Tournament Ruling with 13 Players Remaining

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a lengthy discussion involving all 13 players remaining in the EPT London Main Event, a tournament ruling was agreed for the remainder of play.

There has been a spate of incidents where a player has done a "virtual all-in" whereby they moved all but a a single chip all in. This is done in order to gain extra time to potentially ladder if a player at the other table were to be eliminated.

The ruling that was agreed is as follows:

If a player goes "virtually all-in" leaving a single big blind or similar amount behind, and subsequently face action in that hand, they will have just minute (one time extension) to act on their hand.
Were they to survive with this amount, and continue to tank in hands then a five-second shot clock may be introduced for them.

This rule is solely for the remainder of the Main Event.

Level: 25

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 40,000
