Short Deck Poker Makes Its Way into The Star Sydney with a Brand New Event

The Star Sydney Runs Its First Short Deck Event Today
The Star Sydney Runs Its First Short Deck Event Today

Short Deck Poker has just started getting its footing, and it seems to be the new game that everyone wants to play. Made for the action junkies it's all the rage and more and more rooms are starting to add short deck cash games and tournaments. The Star Sydney can now add short deck to its list of available games with this $880 Short Deck Re-Entry Event, the first World Series of Poker Short Deck Ring Event.

While Day 2 of the Main Event starts on Saturday, December 15 in just a few hours, those who didn't punch a ticket into Day 2 won't be left without anything to play. The $880 Short Deck Tournament is a new event here at the Star Sydney with a price point for many new players to give it a shot.

For those who don't know, Short Deck poker is a style of poker which grew to popularity in the highest stakes cash games in Asia. With more and more of these cash games and tournaments being televised, casinos and poker rooms want to be the first to run short deck games in their area.

As a reminder, in short deck, all twos, threes, fours, and fives are removed, shorting the deck, and thus, hand rankings are changed to reflect the respective strength of hands. For this event, three of a kind will beat a straight and flushes now play higher than full houses as there is only eight cards to every suit. Other than that, short deck is played similarly to regular hold’em with two hole cards, five community cards, and four streets of betting — preflop, flop, turn, and river. Also to note, aces can still play for a low straight, replacing the five, making ace-six-seven-eight-nine a straight as well.

This event will feature 30-minute levels and a 25,000 chip starting stack. The plan is for the tournament to finish in just one day, so things are sure to run pretty quick here. Action kicks off at 2:15 p.m. local time so make sure you check back in as PokerNews will provide all the coverage for this exciting new event here at The Star Sydney.
