The Action Clock comes into play when a tournament is one full table off the money bubble and 💱 continues until a champion is crowned. Each player has 30 seconds to act on a hand, and received four time-extension 💱 chips for an extra 30 seconds each. Players reaching the final three tables of the tournament are then reset to 💱 a maximum of six time-extension chips, and those at the final table are reset to a maximum of eight chips.

“What 💱 happened at the Borgata [Winter Poker Open] is that we just had so many people in the money,” WPT executive 💱 tour director Matt Savage (pictured) says. “It was always four time extensions to play down to 24. We could have 💱 been paying 28 and from 28 down to 24, you got four time chips. At the Borgata, we paid 136, 💱 which is great, and you got four down from that to 24. Is that fair?”

Players basically had to play a 💱 full day with four time chips because of the increased number of entries. The tour is now trying to adjust 💱 for those increases and distributing more chips accordingly.
