Tournament Director - Baldo Venue - Baldo's Manor on Eta (basement, not the OPT room)

The Game
The HRT is a no-rebuy, 10-player, winner-take-all poker tournament consisting of two stages of escalating blind levels. For Stage One, the players buy into a 2 PoE no-limit game for the maximum 200 PoE. Stage One will last for approximately one hour and end after a random hand. Anyone who loses all their chips at any time is out.

Players will carry forward their chip stacks into Stage Two. If anyone has less than the 200 PoE minimum buy in for Stage Two, they are eliminated. Stage Two will be a 20 PoE no-limit game and will progress until a lone champion stands or a deal is agreed upon and approved by the tournament director.
