Synchronized Breaks

Due to popular demand, we're introducing Synchronized Breaks to our Multi-Table Tournaments. Players at our Multi-Table Tournaments will now get a 5-minute break at the 55th minute of every hour. Players can now step away and clear their heads without missing any hands at select tables.

Break Down of Synchronized Breaks

Synchronized breaks for multi-table tournaments will occur at the 55th minute of every hour with some exceptions. Example: A tournament starts at 11:30 and has the Synchronized Breaks feature enabled. The tournament will go on break at 11:55, but all hands will be completed before the break starts. Once all hands are completed, all players will be given a 5-minute break. Once the 5-minute break is over, the tournament will begin. Since breaks will not always start at the 55th minute, as current hands will be played before the break begins, some tournaments might resume before others.

Synchronized Breaks will not occur in:

• tournaments that are still open for late registration.

• tournaments that are still within the first blind level.

• Turbo and Ultra Turbo Tournaments within the first two blind levels.

• Multi-Table SnGs at this time.

Re-buy/Add-on Note:

1. There will be a 3-minute break when the re-buy period has ended to allow for add-ons.

Players who participate in multiple tournaments, which have synchronized breaks enabled, will be able to take one break for all tournaments. Please note that synchronized breaks are not enabled for all tournaments. Players can see if a tournament has synchronized breaks enabled in the tournament lobby.
