MECHANICS

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:

  • Win The Button is played just like NLH, except that the winner of each hand gets the dealer button in the next round.
  • In the case of a split pot, the button moves to the winning player closest to the left of the existing button.

LEVELS:

  • Levels will be 10 minutes for the duration of the tournament until a winner is declared.

RE-ENTRY:

  • Unlimited re-entry is allowed before the close of registration.

PAYOUTS:

  • Approximately one in seven entries (15%) will be in the money.

SHOT CLOCKS & TIME BANKS:

  • Shot Clocks will be implemented throughout the tournament.
  • The Shot Clock will begin with an initial 10-second count down.
  • Players receive 3 time-extension chips worth 10 seconds each at the time of taking their seat, and another 3 more at the start of the Final Table.

PACE OF PLAY:

  • Players are required to make decisions within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Players who are found to intentionally abuse time, deliberately stall, or purposely slow down the game’s progression will be subjected to a 5-second shot clock for all subsequent decision-making.
  • In all tournaments, including shot clock tournaments, we retain the right to limit the time any player has to make a decision.

SEATING & RE-DRAWS:

  • Play will move to 9-handed when play permits.
  • Seating re-draws will be conducted prior to the start of the Final Table.

STAFF FEE:

  • Four percent (4%) of the prize pool will be withheld to offset tournament staffing costs.

#53: Win The Button – Hyper Turbo

Posted 30th August 2025 by Ace Kingsley

The Win the Button – Hyper Turbo always delivers fast-paced action with a unique twist: each pot winner carries the button into the next hand, adding extra strategy to every move.

From a field of 56 entries, it was Cho Daram from South Korea who claimed the title and a payout of NT$69,000. His victory came after an ICM deal with fellow countryman Hong Seongjae from South Korea, who secured NT$56,400 for his runner-up finish. A fitting conclusion to one of the festival’s most electrifying formats!
