500 Player MTT lasts 44 mins!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I saw a new tourney format on Pokerstars today. It was a Heads-up Hyper-turbo. The buy-in was $10.20 and there were 512 entrants.
You started with 1000 chips and the blinds increased every 2 mins starting at 50/100. The blind levels in full were:
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000
750/1500
1000/2000
The whole tounament from start to finish lasted a mere 44 mins. First place won $1280.00
Yes that is 9 entire rounds of heads-up battles all completed in 44 mins! Dont pause for breath, you might just miss it.
