Dark City Poker League is proud to announce our second Heads-Up Texas Hold'em Home Poker Tournament to be held on September 15, 2007. This is a double elimination tournament, with each participant playing a minimum of two games. After two losses, participants are eliminated from the tournament. This tournament will be limited to a maximum of 16 partcipants, and will pay out to the top three spots. All Dark City Poker League rules and regulations shall apply to this tournament. In addition, special heads-up tournament rules (below) will also be applied to this tournament.

Each match, players will be given 5,000 starting chips. Blinds will progress on a timed schedule every 9 minutes, with each match capped at a 90 minute time limit (exception is the final round, which will continue until a winner is declared). A match winner will be awarded by chip count if both players remain after the 90 minute time limit expires. The winner of the match will progress in the A bracket, while the loser will move to the B bracket. Once a player loses a B bracket game, this will signify their second elimiation loss, and will be eliminated from the tournament.
