Poker – Heads Up Holdem

Description

Swiss pairings over 4 rounds. 45 minute games. If neither player wins in the time then the player with the most chips is considered the victor. Standard MSO tie-breaks apply.

Heads up no-limit hold ’em. Texas hold ’em (also known as hold ’em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. Texas hold ’em consists of two cards (hole cards) being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed face-up by the dealer—a series of three (“the flop”) then an additional single card (“the turn” or “fourth”) and another additional card (“the river” or “fifth street”)—with players having the option to check, bet, raise or fold after each deal; i.e., betting may occur prior to the flop, “on the flop”, “on the turn”, and “on the river”.

Please note that this event does not qualify for the Amateur Poker World Championship.
