Event #8 of the World Cup of Cards Guarantees $40,000!
Another day, another event. The 2017 World Cup of Cards is full steam ahead and the opening event of today's festivities is Event #8: $550 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max Freeze.
Players begin at 11:00 a.m. local time with 25,000 tournament chips and will battle it out for 30-minute levels until a winner is crowned.
This is a freezeout so players will only have one crack at the $40,000 guaranteed prize pool. Registration closes at the end of Level 6 at approximately 2:15 p.m. As usual, there will be a break every four levels, or two hours, lasting 15 minutes.
For those who aren't fortunate enough to make it through to the end, or if you're looking for a full day of tournament poker, Event #9 $220 No Limit Hold'em Survivor is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. followed by a $180 CPPT World Cup of Cards Turbo Satellite at 8:00 p.m.
There is still three weeks of play left here in beautiful Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada at the ever-popular Playground Poker Club, so stick with PokerNews as the Live Reporting team brings you all of the action.
