OFC tournament at EPT London Oct 6th

[Longines]

Haven't seen this mentioned before - season 10 of the EPT will include OFC: £2000 + £200 unlimited re-entry with 30 minute levels.

I've no idea how it's played but from the fact every poker reg appears to be hooked I imagine it's going to be huge.

Live PLO8, NLO8 and PLO8/Stud8 as well - should be fun.

2k is fking massive, esp as a rebuy.


how does a rebuy work, tournament style starting stack and then punt away?

assuming no FL, have the rules been uploaded yet that they are going to play with?

"Pretty new concept, you say? Wonder where we should pitch the price point.....£2k rebuy sound about right? Yer, that'll do".

The mind boggles.





Will obv be massive though.

[titaniumbean]

2k freezeout pretty hudge, but rebuy rofl


obv for the super degens. pretty sure I wouldn't be playing even if the buyin was just the quoted rake figure!

[Royal Flush]

Was a $5k during the WSOP no?

Its very space intensive and i dare say they don't want a large field so £2k makes sense.

[tight4better]

Pretty ridiculous a 2k rebuy, if they were worried about space just cap the field.

[pleno1]

its basically reentry right: seems fine.

The tournament rules for Open-Face Chinese
1. Game will be dealt 4 handed.
2. Final Table will be played 5 handed with the button being dealt out.
3. Players will receive cards 6 through 13 individually, face down. When they act, the next player will then be dealt their card.
4. Players who expose a card out of turn will be penalized 1 point per active player in the hand.
5. Players who miss a hand will pay a 3 point penalty per active player in the hand, but will not have to pay any royalties accrued on that hand.
6. Players who miss a hand may not receive any penalty chips from any other players in the hand.
7. Once clock is called, players will have 30 seconds to act on their hand. Players who do not act before time expires will have their hand declared fouled and will pay a full penalty plus all applicable royalties.
8. Verbal action is not binding and a player's turn will not be completed until they have placed their card and removed their hand (like Chess).
9. Players will be allowed to step away from the table provided their hand has no remaining decisions to be made (EX. Flush on bottom, straight in middle, with 3 cards to come that can ONLY be placed up top, or a hand that is already fouled and cannot be redeemed).
10. Players will NOT be allowed to step away from the table during hands where decisions remain. Any player who does so will have their hand declared fouled and will pay a full penalty plus all applicable royalties.


Paying points and royalties

All points and royalties will be paid in position order, starting with the player in 1st position. Each individual player transaction will be completed in full before moving on to the next transaction. A player is eliminated from the event when they cannot pay the full points owed to an individual player in turn. Players who reach "zero" points during the course of their individual transactions will be eliminated from the event.

Example
Seat 1 is in first position and has ten points. Seat 1 owes Seat 2 twelve points, but will receive twenty points from both Seat 3 and Seat 4. Seat 1 does not have enough points to complete the transaction with Seat 2 and is therefore eliminated from the event even though Seat's 3 and 4 both owe Seat 1 chips.
Players are only eligible to win or lose the amount of chips they began the hand with. As an example, Player A has 12 points; he can win or lose only 12 points from Player B. If he wins 8 points from Player B, he now has a total of 4 points remaining of his original 12 for his transaction with Player C. If he wins or loses those 4 points he will have concluded his actions and will have no transactions with Player D.
