PokerStars Launches New Time-Limit Tourneys
January 13, 2012
PokerStars has figured out the perfect solution for players who love multl-table tournaments but hate the unpredictable time commitment: Timed Tourneys.
Launched today, the new tournament format offers a set time for the tournament to play out with the prize pool divided by chip counts when the clock runs out.
Under the new beta release current time options range between 15 minutes and 180 minutes. Buy-ins start as low as $1.
To mark the launch of the new Timed Tourneys, PokerStars is offering a tournament ticket worth $5.50 to all players who make a deposit of $30 or more using the code ‘TIME’ between October 19-28.
A new Timed Tourney event will also be added to the Saturday tournament lineup starting October 22.
The new tourney will be called The Saturday Countdown and will have a two-hour limit with a $22 buy-in.
The guarantee will be $10,000 and it will run every week at 1 p.m ET.
As an added bonus, on October 29 all Saturday Line-Up guarantees will be doubled.
PokerStars players can find Time Tourneys marked with a stopwatch icon under the Tourney tab.
