Interesting Structure

This tournament brings an interesting structure to it with players have a triple chance.

Each player has a starting stack of 1,500 along with two red non-tournament value chips.

If they lose their stack at anytime, they can use their red chip to get a fresh 1,500 starting bank from the dealer.

Players can also choose to double add on straight away and take the 4,500 from the get-go.
