Welcome to Run It Up Reno $85 All In or Fold
As the final table gets underway in the $235 Tuesday Takeoff, the $85 All In or Fold event is set to get underway.
This tournament features a 5,000 starting stack and a rather wacky ruleset. The only two permissible actions are to move all in or to fold. While the entry fee is $85, rebuys cost just $50 apiece and players may rebuy as many times as they wish for the first six levels. Levels will last 20 minutes apiece with blinds opening at 100/200 with a 25 ante.
This event was featured on the Run It Up Reno schedule last year, and Brandon King was the man who emerged when the craziness ended, topping a field of 112 to take down $4,748.
Action is underway and the all-in shoves have begun.
It's On
The cards in the air for the $85 All In or Fold tournament. Note that the format converts to standard no-limit hold'em once the final table is reached. Until that point, we'll be focusing our coverage on the Tuesday Takeoff and providing sporadic updates of the All in or Fold event.
Some Early Notables
Chad Holloway, Zhihao Zhang, Stephen Fishbach, Brent Harrington, Tyson Apostol, Nadya Magnus, Brandon King, and Garry Gates are among the players firing away early in this event.
Players Chipping Up
With action now into level 3 (200/400/75-ante), there appears to be just over 100 players in the field.
A quick walk around the tournament area reveals several players with 30,000 in chips as the rebuys continue to flow freely.
Rob Cesternino Sits On Top
As play approaches the end of level four, it appears as though Survivor: The Amazon and Survivor: All Stars contestant Rob Cesternino is the chip leader with roughly 37,000 in chips.
However with two more levels left of rebuy action, anything is bound to happen.
Break Time
The remaining players are heading on a 10-minute break.
