Fixed Limit Hold'em used to be the dominant game in card rooms around the United States, but it takes more of a backseat these days. While it may not be as popular as it once was, Event #30: $1,500 Limit Hold'em 7-Handed will still attract a few hundred players who will fight fiercely to become its champion.
Limit Hold'em is played to a different pace than no-limit events, but the pots still get big, and the margins are thin. Seven-handed tables keep the action flowing, and if you’re not paying attention, your chips can quickly disappear.
