Tournament Ruling with 13 Players Remaining
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After a lengthy discussion involving all 13 players remaining in the EPT London Main Event, a tournament ruling was agreed for the remainder of play.
There has been a spate of incidents where a player has done a "virtual all-in" whereby they moved all but a a single chip all in. This is done in order to gain extra time to potentially ladder if a player at the other table were to be eliminated.
The ruling that was agreed is as follows:
- If a player goes "virtually all-in" leaving a single big blind or similar amount behind, and subsequently face action in that hand, they will have just minute (one time extension) to act on their hand.
- Were they to survive with this amount, and continue to tank in hands then a five-second shot clock may be introduced for them.
This rule is solely for the remainder of the Main Event.
