With the 2017 World Series of Poker nearing the end of its first week of play, we've already seen a wide variety of tournament formats on display �� a great opportunity for poker players to play different types of tournaments and variants in order to challenge themselves to improve their games.

Among the first week's highlights was Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout in which Upeshka De Silva won three straight tables to beat out the 369-player field and win the bracelet and a $229,923 first prize.

There's one more shootout event a little later on the schedule, a $1,500 buy-in tournament (Event #43).

During Event #3, we caught up with 888 Ambassador Dominik Nitsche who offered some thoughts regarding shootouts, talking a little strategy and listing some of the positives offered by the format.

"There's no reason... it's still poker," Nitsche points out.

That said, shootouts give players a chance to play more hands, engage in more short-handed play, and as Nitsche notes not have to worry about ICM considerations until the final table. Take a look:
