PokerStars has created a new way to play online poker tournaments which will be a big time-saver for many. Their latest innovation, time tourneys, is a new type of multi-table tournament which runs for a set period of time. This gives tournament poker players the chance to squeeze in a tournament before they head out for the day or go to bed.

The way time tourneys work is simple. Tournaments will run for a pre-determined minimum and maximum amount of time. Once the maximum allotted time runs out, positions and prizes are awarded based on stack sizes. This creates a ton of action as the tournament winds down. These tournaments will be available at all times with buy-ins starting only at a dollar. Time Tourneys can be found under the Tourney tab marked with a stopwatch icon.

A Time Tourney will be added to the Saturday Line-up. The inaugural Saturday Countdown will be a two-hour Time Tourney with a $22 buy-in. It will run every week at 13:00 ET from October 22nd onwards with a guaranteed prize pool of $10,000. Remember that all prize pools are doubled for all Saturday Line-Up tournaments on October 29th.

This is a very innovative idea by PokerStars as many tournaments wind up taking very long to complete. These new tournaments will certainly be very fishy with everybody trying their luck and feeling them out. Log into PokerStars today and try them out!
