Schedule

The schedule for the 2019 Poker Masters included five No-Limit Hold'em tournaments, two Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments, and a Short Deck event. New additions to the schedule from the 2018 Poker Masters included an 8-Game Mix tournament and Big Bet Mix. 8-Game is a rotation of H.O.R.S.E., No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and 2-7 Triple Draw. Big Bet Mix is a rotation of No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw. [1]

Each event lasted two days, with the first day ending once the final table was down to six players. Those players returned the next day to resume play with the action streamed on PokerGO. [4]
