The fifth event of the 2017 World Cup of Cards (WCC) is set to get underway at noon local time inside Playground Poker Club on Tuesday. Event #5: $110 NL Hold��em Big Ante boasts a guarantee of $5,000 and features a structure where the ante grows larger each level.

In 2016, Shawn Daigle topped a field of 88 entries to claim a top prize of $2,111. Daigle defeated Alim Ismail heads up for the win, just over nine hours after the event kicked off.

Players will start with 20,000 chips and play 20-minute blind levels. There will be a 15-minute break every four levels. This is a freezeout event so rebuys or re-entries are not permitted. Late registration will remain open until the end of the break following Level 4.

This is the second running of the WCC. In 2016, there were 28 events and this year, Playground, teaming up with partypoker, have produced a schedule with 36 events included several major tournaments and guarantees worth more than $6,000,000.
