i think i like the cannonball event the most - we might actually get some deepish stacked final table play, which would be awesome.

question about the triple chance event - do your cards become an addon at the end of 180 minutes?


i like the cannonball the most though.

Triple Chance tournaments basically mean that you start with three times the amount of chips as stated. So you will receive eventually 30K in chips for your buy in!

It's basically a fixed rebuy event.

Are "cards" for event 4 going to need to be stamped, or are they redeemable at any point?

I like the cannonball.

So, similar to the 10K PLO event at the WSOP this year?
