  3. Hands Per Round - Each tournament round is 15 hands. It takes approximately 1 hour to complete a tournament round.

    • Players Who DON'T Fold - The hand winner receives all of the points in the pot. Nonwinners receive zero points.
  4. Scoring a Tournament Round - At the end of 15 hands, the points each player has on their nameplates are their final scores. Top 3 finishers advance to the next table except for the final table where these positions determine final cash payout positions.
  5. Tiebreakers - Tiebreakers to eliminate the lowest remaining player at a table are as follows:

    1. Player with the most pot wins advances.
