ACTION CLOCK: The Action Clock by Protection Poker will be used once the field is down to one (1) table out of the money. Remaining players will have thirty (30) seconds to act on their hand. To begin play in the Action Clock portion of the tournament, each player will receive time-extension chips, each worth a 30-second addition to a player’s action. The number of time-exten-sion chips provided to each player will depend on the number of players in the money. Upon reaching the final three (3) tables of the tournament, each remaining player will reset to a maximum of six (6) 30-second time-extension chips. Upon reaching the official WPT final table of the tournament, each remaining player will reset to a maximum of eight (8) 30-second time-exten-sion chips. In the case that time expires for a player with remaining time-extension chips, the player’s Action Clock will automatically extend an additional thirty (30) seconds. Collection of time-extension chips will take place at the end of the player’s action. If a player’s Action Clock expires and the player does not have any time-extension chips remaining, he/she will be (a) forced to check, if there is no bet pending or (b) fold, if facing a bet or raise. See WPT Action Clock Rules on wpt.com for more details.
