The new dynamic “Beat the Clock” tournaments are now available on PokerStars, world’s biggest online poker website, an Amaya Inc. brand (Nasdaq: AYA; TSX: AYA)
“Beat the Clock” games are in fact Zoom tournaments which only last for 5 minutes, offering a fun experience, adrenaline filled, to all those who are looking for action and energy at their poker table. All they have to do in order to win cash prizes is to stay in the game until the time on the screen comes to an end. At the end of the tournament, the prizes are distributed proportionally with the number of chips every player has, “Beat the Clock” requires you to think and act extremely fast, but also use all your skills, which make me live the same experience as in the field. Because it runs against the clock, this new type of tournament makes me more competitive and grants me a “dose” of adrenaline…while I am at it”, said PokerStars SportsStar, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The players who manage to avoid elimination until the 5 minutes expire are instantly awarded. This new type of tournament is also a good incentive for beginners because they might get some adrenaline whilst perfecting their game technique.
