With the new season of the World Poker Tour right around the corner, the WPT announced on Thursday that it will be using a 30-second Action Clock during all Main Tour events. The new addition will begin at WPT Choctaw Aug. 4-8 and carry through the end of Season XVI.
The Action Clock, which was first introduced at the WPT Tournament of Champions in 2016, will be implemented into WPT Main Tour events one full table off the money bubble and remain in play until the conclusion of the tournament. Players will be limited to 30 seconds for each action, but will also receive time extension chips for use during difficult moments in the later stages of the tournament.
