Rules

❤ The tournament Host has the final decision on all disputes.

♠ All Players must be registered members of 607 Poker League.

❤Minimum age to play is 18.

♠ Late registration is allowed until the completion of the second level. Players that will arrive late may reserve a seat by telephone.

♣ If there are more players than seats at the tables there will be a waiting list. Those players will be allowed to join the tournament as seats become available, including after the late registration period has expired.

Unless otherwise stated,

♣ During the breaks, the floor person will Color-up, lower denomination chips for each player by exchanging them for the next higher value. Any uneven amount will be rounded up to the players benefit.

♦ The person in the 1 seat will be the first dealer and the deal will rotate clockwise.

♠ All tournaments are big blind ante tournaments. If a player is short-stacked, the big blind is paid before the big blind ante.

♣ Single chip bets are considered a call unless a verbal declaration has been made.

♦ Players must keep their larger denomination chips on top of their chip stack or in front of their chip stack so other players can readily determine chip counts. We ask players to keep chips in stacks of 20 when possible.

❤Players are required to post their blinds. When a player is absent from the table for any reason, their blind will be posted from the absent players stack and their hand will be dealt and folded.

♣ The small blind is posted by the player immediately to the left of the dealer. The big blind is posted by the player two seats to the left of the dealer.

♦ New players to a table must take a hand, unless the seat they are taking will be on that hand the small blind or the dealer position. In these situations the player must wait for the dealer button to pass.

♠ When dealing, there will not be any presorting of the cards. All remaining cards are to stay on top of the deck until all betting is done. Then the dealer will burn one card and turn the three flop cards. Once again no cards will be taken from the top of the deck until all betting is done. At this point the dealer will burn one card and expose the turn card. Still no cards are to be taken from the top of the deck until betting is done. The third burn card will be placed on the table face down, and the river card will be exposed.

❤There will be a re-draw of seats for the final table.

♣ The dead button rule applies. This means that whatever position had the small blind the previous hand will receive the button regardless of whether or not the player in that position is still at the table.

♦ When a player is absent, the dealer will always deal the absent player in. When the action gets to this player, that player’s hand will be mucked.

♠ If a Player does not have enough chips to call a bet or place a blind, that player can go ALL-IN. If this occurs, the other players with chips left will continue the hand and bet into a side pot.

❤When a Player goes ALL-IN and the bet is called by one player, both players MUST turn cards face up for the Showdown and continue the hand.

♣ Once a Player has lost all his/her chips they are required to leave the table.

♦ If two or more Players are eliminated on the same hand at final table, the player with most chips at the start of the hand will finish in the higher position.

♠ MISDEALS: If a Player is dealt a card face up the dealer will continue to deal each position their hole cards. Once the hand is dealt to all players the card that was dealt face up will be replaced with the top card on the deck and the card that was dealt face up will become the first burn card. All players must see the card that was dealt face up then the card should be placed in the muck pile. If two cards are dealt face up, it will result in a mis-deal, and must be re dealt.

❤The dealer is responsible for placing the burn cards and muck cards in the muck pile. If at anytime a player’s hand is either accidentally or purposely thrown in the muck pile the cards are dead and cannot be played in that hand.

♣ No one can turn over any of the burn or muck cards at anytime during the hand.

♦ Chips are to remain on the table at all times. When a player is moving tables, they do not have to use a chip rack but chips must remain visible at all times.

❤All bets must be equal or greater than the big blind. All raises must be at least double the previous bet/raise.

♠ Players moving from a broken table to fill in seats at another table will assume the rights and responsibilities of the seat. A player must play when sat in the big blind.

❤Cards must remain above the table at all times.

♣ One player to a hand. No other players may give advice on how to play a hand. Refrain from discussing a hand when you are not involved in the hand.

♦ When more than two players are in a hand, players should refrain from discussing the hand. When a hand is down to two players, table talk is allowed. Cards are not to be exposed at any time during a hand.

♠ The dealer must shuffle the deck at least three(3) times. The player to the right of the dealer position has the option to cut the deck after the shuffle. If he wishes to not cut the deck then the dealer will cut the deck and begin the deal.

❤When two players are left at the table the dealer will always be small blind.

♣ Any inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. The tournament Host reserves the right to ask any player to leave the table and tournament. The venue always reserves the right to ask anyone to leave at any time.

♦ 607 Poker League reserves the right to cancel, change, or alter the event at any time.

♠ At NO time, at any 607 Poker League event is currency of any kind allowed on the poker tables. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Any violation of this rule will result in immediate expulsion from the tournament.

❤At the end of the re-buy/re-enter period, a player may forfeit their stack to re-buy with a full stack.

♦ Re-buy/Re-entry Tournaments:

♣ Players are allowed one rebuy in each regular season league tournament.

♣ No additional points are awarded for rebuys.

♣ Players will receive a full starting stack for their rebuy.

♣ Player’s rebuying will be placed at the end of the waitlist, when applicable.
