WPT TOC: Bringing Back the “Action Clock”

by

$15,000 WPT Tournament of Champions
Level 1: 75/150 with a 25 Ante
Players: 50

Introduced during last year’s inaugural run of the WPT Tournament of Champions, the “Action Clock” is back in play today to help move things along at a nice pace.

Players will have 30 seconds to make a decision or use one of their five 30-second extensions. Once the clock expires, the player will automatically be extended an additional 30 seconds and the dealer will collect the time bank chip(s) at the end of the hand. If the player is out of time bank chips and the time expired, when facing a bet, it is a fold, when facing a check, it will be a check.

An interesting twist in the TOC structure and it was met with approval last year.
