Welcome to the 2024 Jin Bei Cup Event 1 Single Day $5,000 NLH
Three days of thrilling live poker action await at the luxurious Jin Bei Palace Hotel in Sihanoukville, Cambodia and some of the biggest names in the high-stakes world are expected to hit the poker tables during the inaugural Jin Bei Cup such as Tom Dwan and Dan "Jungleman" Cates.
The schedule contains three tournaments and a mix of No-Limit Hold'em and short deck with the opening event featuring the Cadillac in the world of poker: NLHE. Event 1 Single Day $5,000 NLH will certainly include high-octane action with levels of 20 minutes each on eight-handed tables and unlimited re-entries before the start of level nine.
The action is expected to kick off at 3 p.m. local time and all players receive 200,000 in chips, good enough for 200 big blinds in the first level of play. A 30-second shot clock is in play from the get-go and all participants receive eight time bank extension cards with an additional five distributed once the final table has been reached.
However, the opening event is just a warm-up for the $50,000 Short Deck Main Event the following two days thereafter. A massive $5,000,000 guarantee awaits for the flagship tournament of the series and it is one of the largest guarantees ever for a short deck tournament. The organisers have also guaranteed the top-heavy minimum payouts for this high-stakes contest extraordinaire, which may go up even further if the prize pool increases beyond the guarantee.
- First Place: $1,500,000
- Second Place: $800,000
- Third Place: $600,000
The two-day event will be played in the traditional six-max format that makes short deck so explosive and unlimited re-entries will be allowed on the entire Day 1. As of level 10, players eliminated can make a one-time purchase of two stacks and the same add-on option is also allowed for everyone prior to the start of the final day. The registration closes at 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, 2024 and from there on, the race to crowning a winner will be on.
Another Hyper Turbo NLH Side Event with a buy-in of $10,600 caps off the series here in Cambodia and the PokerNews live reporting team will focus on the atmosphere of the opening event and the Short Deck Main Event.
