Flight A moved into the third level and afternoon hours to put the “big blind antes” in play. Instead of the old way of doing it, now the big blind will pay the ante for the other players, speeding up the game and getting more hands per hour. Win/win.

The Big Blind Ante format will be used for any No Limit Hold’em with 15,000 starting stacks or higher. The new poker world is here.

Earlier we mentioned Nancy Thomas finished second in the second biggest tournament field in state history and now we have the winner of the biggest. Rafael Reis captured his second SHRP trophy in the fall of 2016 when he outlasted more than 5,000 entries to win the opening event of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open.
