Turbo Time
It's time for the first and only turbo structured tournament of the 2013 World Series of Poker. The one hour levels make room for twenty and forty minute levels on day one, so things will move a long just a little bit quicker. Here's a break down of the structure:
| levels | length |
|---|---|
| 1 - 4 | 30 minutes |
| 5 - 17 | 40 minutes |
| 18 and thereafter | 60 minutes |
For day one there's seventeen levels on the schedule. The only thing not turbo-structured for this event is the dinner break which is scheduled to take place after level nine and will grand players still in, ninety minutes to find something to eat.
This is supposed to be a two day event and it will start today at noon. Late registration is open till 2:20, so be on time. Are you ready for quick bust outs and quick double ups? Check back here at noon for updates from the first flop till the last river.

Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
On an 
flop the big blind bet out 125. The hijack folded but Matt Salsberg immediately made the call from the button. 
on the turn and this time the big blind bet out 300, again Salsberg called within an instance. The 
fell on the river and the big blind bet 1,800. Salsberg had just about 1,400 behind it looked like, so this was all in or fold for him. He thought about it for a few minutes but eventually folded.
