The World Poker Tour Tournament of Champions kicked off in exciting fashion on Friday with 64 members of the WPT Champions Club taking to the felt to battle for the $381,600 first-place prize, plus a plethora of other goodies, including a 2016 Corvette, courtesy of Monster.
One of the features that stood out heading into the event was the addition of the Action Clock, created by Protection Poker. Under the rules of the Action Clock, each player's action was given a 30-second time limit. For longer decisions, players were given four 30-second time extensions they could use if needed.
