“The World Poker Tour is poker’s most player-friendly tour, and we look forward to players experiencing the Action Clock on a global scale.” “Protection Poker is pleased to expand its partnership with the World Poker Tour to bring the Action Clock to all WPT Main Tour events,” said Cavin Quintanilla, CEO of Gaming Advancement Marketing Entertainment, LLC. Each time-extension chip is worth a 30-second addition to a player’s action.Īdditionally, the World Poker Tour is working with all WPT Main Tour partners to implement a requirement of transitioning to eight-handed tournament play once the final 10 tables are reached in a WPT Main Tour event. Upon reaching the official WPT final table of the tournament, each remaining player will reset to a maximum of eight time-extension chips. Upon reaching the final three tables of the tournament, each remaining player will reset to a maximum of six time-extension chips.

To start, each player will receive four time-extension chips. Players will have a 30-second clock for each action to help ensure an efficient pace of play. The Action Clock will be implemented into WPT Main Tour events starting one full table off the money bubble and lasting until the conclusion of the tournament. Starting with the televised WPT Choctaw, the implementation of the Action Clock will deliver an exciting new element to the game. Twitter: Angeles, CA (July 27, 2017) – World Poker Tour® today announced it has partnered with Protection Poker to bring the Action Clock to all Season XVI WPT® Main Tour events.
