PCA: Chinese poker signs its first success
For the first time, the Open Face Chinese (OFC) was part of the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure Program (PCA), and this Chinese variant of poker, could now be more present at major international poker tournaments. Even if the 59 entries and 18 re-entries collected in this tournament in the Bahamas, for an entry fee of $ 2,150 is quite low, but for a relatively new variant at international level, this event was a real success. "This is my first poker tournament open Chinese face", said professional players, a fact which tells the character really new of this variant. And those who have just come to discover to spend up to 20 hours of play at a time.
To return to the OFC meeting in the Bahamas, this event with a prize pool of $ 149,380 ended with the victory of the Danish Petter Jetten, a victory that allowed him to win a gain of $ 52,280. Before the PCA 2013, other major events like the World Series of Poker Europe had already proposed an Open Face Chinese event and the EPT Monte Carlo 2013 also plans to offer an event with this variant. According to these calendars, Chinese poker could become almost as ubiquitous as well as Texas Hold'em or Omaha in the near future. For the information, you must know how to play open and closed poker to have the chance to win an OFC tournament. As a principle, this game for 2 to 4 players on a table proposes the gradual distribution of 13 cards face down. From each of their cards, each player must make three hands on three levels.
