Event #2 of the partypoker US Network Players Choice Series (Heads-Up 64 Max) Begins At 8 p.m. ET
The partypoker US Network Players Choice Series is bringing a less-common form of tournament poker into the spotlight Monday night, with Event #2: Heads-Up (64 Max) NLH next on the schedule.
Registration is capped at 64 players for this $109 buy-in tournament and is nearly full with less than three hours to go before play begins. This means that anybody within the state of New Jersey who wishes to compete across one of the three platforms of partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker should register before it is too late to do so.
In this format, each player will play one heads-up match per round against their opponent in the tournament bracket. The top 16 will make it into the money, meaning all entrants must win two matches to see a return on their investment. Play will start sharply at 8 p.m. ET with stacks of 50,000 and eight-minute blinds that begin at 250/500 and an ante of 75.
