At Playground Poker Club, the month of July came with a very exciting novelty, known around the world under Six-Plus Hold’em, Short Deck Poker or Short Deck Hold’em. We first introduced it under the name SIX-PLUS, which we felt was the most descriptive appellation. Some players, however, felt that it created unnecessary confusion with the 6-Max tournament, which incidentally runs on the same night.
We always keep an ear out for player feedback. The tournament staff communicated your comments, and moving forward, the event will be listed under the more broadly used name, “Short Deck Hold’em”.
The game’s action-inducing properties are transmitted from mouth to ear at high speed, and it’s quickly gaining popularity. The first installment saw 41 players jump in, and just one week later – Monday – that number was boosted to 59! There will be one more Monday night $50 + $10 NL Short Deck Hold’em Re-entry tournament – July 23rd – before the July Power Weekend for players to get acquainted with the variant before its Playground Event Debut!
Event #7 of the July Power Weekend is a $100 + $10 NL Short Deck Hold’em Re-Entry tournament, played 8-Max and with an $8,000 guarantee. Don’t miss it!
