Beat The Clock on PokerStars

PokerStars has introduced a unique tournament format known as ‘Beat The Clock’. Beat The Clock is a timed event that will award a share of the prizepool to all players that survive five minutes of intense action. Think you’ve got what it takes?

Beat The Clock uses PokerStars’ popular Zoom Poker platform, the moment a player folds a hand they’ll be immediately transported to a new table, with a new hand already waiting for them. You’d be surprised how much can happen in just FIVE minutes!

Played as a Sit & Go, Beat The Clock tournaments will begin as soon as enough players have registered. Featuring shorthanded 4-max action and rapidly increasing 1-minute blind levels, it's a real rush. Participants will begin with 5,000 chips, and the structure will play out accordingly:

Level 1: 200 / 400 / 80 ante
Level 2: 250 / 500 / 100 ante
Level 3: 300 / 600 / 120 ante
Level 4: 400 / 800 / 160 ante
Level 5: 500 / 1,000 / 200 ante

At the end of the five minute contest all players that still have chips will receive a portion of the prizepool, divided using the following formula: (Remaining Chips / Total Chips in Play) x Total Prizepool = Payout.
