Event 13 started earlier today and has already reached a conclusion. How did it go so quickly? Because it was a $240 buy-in no-limit hold’em “Escalator” tournament.

The first level was just three minutes long, the second level was six minutes long, the third level was nine minutes long, and so on, adding three minutes to each level until they reach one hour in duration.

When the field got down to the final seven players, they agreed to a straight 7-way chop, with Jorie Polokoff taking the trophy.
