The Atlantic Breeders Crown is only days away and there is still space available in a new event being launched this year, the inaugural Atlantic Breeders Crown Poker
Tournament.
The event will take place Saturday, October 10 in the six-table poker room at the Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park beginning at 8:30 a.m. The tournament is open to Standardbred Canada and/or Maritime Provinces Harness Racing Commission members only.
In the Atlantic Breeders Crown multi-table tournament, players start with $3,000 in poker chips. Players at numerous tables compete for one another's chips as the blinds and/or antes increase incrementally. As players are eliminated, tables are ‘broken,’ keeping the tables evenly 'balanced.’
Eventually, the last few surviving players with chips are brought together at the final table, where the winner is determined. The tournament winner will be awarded with the inaugural Atlantic Breeders Crown Poker Tournament winner’s bracelet.
