'Ante Up' - WCOOP

WCOOP is well under way and there have been a few big winners already. I am only planning on playing 1 event which is probably going to be event #60 on the 25th September.

I am just watching the Final Table of the $320 'Ante Up' tournament. It is the first time I have witnessed this type of tourni and I am loving it....!! The blinds in this event are 5/5 and do not rise through the levels. However the ante goes up with each level and it makes for a interesting spectacle. This is a predominately a post flop played tourni as you have everyone limping every pot with raises coming in usually close to the last player to act. So,  you get a lot of limp calling and limp raising as people trap with good hands and limp with any 2 cards. I'm definitely going to play one of these in the future..!!

Here is a typical pot in an Ante Up game:

The prizes for this FT are quite nice too
