If you were looking to make some big money fast, Event #24 was made for you. This Rush Poker Super Turbo had 811 entrants, but was over in only 92 minutes! Players started with a miniscule 300 chips, and had to act fast to beat both their opponents and the clock. Making it to the end as relative unknowns, the top three players chose to split the prize pool and went home with at least $25,000 each. The Rush Poker format has always been incredibly popular, and this event was no exception, nearly tripling its guarantee.
Don’t forget, there are satellites available at a fraction of the cost of the full buy-in! These are a great way to get added value and make it to the big show without breaking the bank.
