MECHANICS
GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:
- Short Deck is played just like NLH except a 36-card deck is used (2’s to 5’s removed) instead of a full deck.
- In Short Deck, a Flush beats a Full House, and the lowest possible Straight is A 6 7 8 9.
- Single Antes will be posted by all players (there are no blinds).
- The Button player will post double the ante amount.
BOUNTIES:
- Bounty value is NT$2,000.
- Players who share a pot where a Bounty is won will split the Bounty.
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.
- 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 be 6-handed for the duration of the tournament with a Final Table of 7 players.
- 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.
RULES:
- Tournament Director Association (TDA) rules will be used.

#19: Bounty Short Deck
Posted 23rd February 2025 by

♠️ Bounty Hunting in Short Deck Style! ♠️
The #19 Bounty Short Deck tournament at the Players Series Taiwan Championship saw 41 players take on the dynamic and fast-paced poker variant. In the end, it was Sunjoon Choi from South Korea who claimed victory and NT$30,000! 🏆💰

Short Deck poker, also known as 6+ Hold’em, shakes things up by removing the 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s from the deck, making for bigger hands and more aggressive action! 🚀
Congratulations to the champion for mastering the chaos! 🎉🔥
