At some point we allot 10 minutes to reorganize at the final table (9
handed). If the final table is reached during Level 9, proceed to play
No Limit Holdem with the Level 10 structure for the remaining Level 9
time, then continue with level 10 (i.e., no further change until Level
11). Otherwise, start playing No Limit at Level 10 even if the final
table has not been reached.
No Limit is scheduled to go into effect at level 10, not at the final
table. Otherwise the tournament would probably run too long.
Minutiae
The placement of the button should be determined before play begins,
even though stud is going to be the first game. During stud, the player
who is to have the button in the forthcoming blind-game will hold the
button. Should this player be moved the button remains in the spot, and
will become a dead button. Should another player be moved into this
spot, he/she will inherit the button. The chip-splitting rule is:
- High hand takes precedence over low hand.
- First-to-act takes precedence over last-to-act.
Note that it is possible to get quartered or sixthed out of the
tournament.
Chip Races
No one will be allowed to bust out because of the chip race. Anyone in
such danger will receive one higher denomination chip.
