There is $250K Buy-in tournament just starting down in Australia. I guess the 250K is Aussie dollars, which I didn't realize, until just now was at ~par with the US.
Anyways, there were 20 entrants (2 of them were late) Notables: Seidel, Ferguson, Dwan, Benyamine, and Ivey.
Eric Seidel has already doubled up (within 30 minutes) when he had Aces against another players Kings. James Obst? just lost $250,000 in 30 minutes.
Antes/Blinds started at 500/1000/2000 and the starting chip stacks were at 250K.
Eric Seidel tweeted that he was relieved that there are no re-buys. :eek:
Forgot to mention that the levels are increasing every 30 minutes!! And there is a 30 second shot clock! which I guess that a player can go ‘in the tank’ for 5-10 minutes. That might put Tom Dwan at a disadvantage as he is a noted ‘slow’ player.
And Oslo, where are the standings! We have played 3 times!
If the Thursday night, 9PM Central game hasn’t migrated to Stars already, come and join us tonight. (And if it has migrated to Stars, then I’m sure everyone would like to see you there too.)
I might not make it as I am currently in the running in the badugi freeroll and I’mnot used to dual playing yet. But i just might give it a shot anyway.
