The FullTiltPoker.Net World Series of Golf (www.worldseriesofgolf.com) was held May 11-14, 2009 at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort (www.lvpaiutegolf.com). The Mirage Hotel & Casino (www.mirage.com) serves as the host hotel for the event and will be featured in WGN America’s coverage.
TheFulTtiltPoker.Net World Series of Golf is open to all amateur golfers age 21 and older. The proprietary method of play (www.worldseriesofgolf.com/overview.aspx) incorporates a $10,000 entry fee. Players ante at each tee box; after teeing off in a pre-determined order, they have the option to call or raise the bets of competitors in their paring, or fold the hole. Players who fold lose any bets they have committed to the pot and rejoin play on the next tee.
Players who remain in the action continue to bet prior to each subsequent shot, building the pot as they move from the tee to the green. The player who wins the hold – either by stroke count or by forcing his or her competitors to fold – wins the pot.
Players are eliminated when their $10,000 purse is exhausted or so depleted they cannot pay the ante on the next tee. Players who win their initial pairing advance to the tournament’s second round and recoup their $10,000 buy-in. Players who win their second-round pairing advance to the final round and are guaranteed a cash prize of at least $30,000. The winner of the event receives a cash prize of $300,000.
