Rules
Each player has 15 seconds to make their decision. The clock starts when the player knows how much the bet into him or her is.
Twice per tournament, a player may have an additional 30 second time-out, this idea was the brainchild of Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot.
If a decision is not made during that time period, the hand is declared dead.
To help speed things along, 2 dealers are utilised.
