April 22-23, 2024

Our first-ever $600 Savage Average tournament drew 124 entries for a prize pool worth $64,480. The final table returned for Day 2 to play for the title and Spencer Simpson walked away with the outright win for $16,460.

The tournament was designed to update the blinds based on the average stack, not on a clock. Players enjoyed having the average stack of the tournament be at least 50 big blinds from the time registration ended until Simpson had all the chips.

Congrats Spencer!

We have a brand new tournament on today’s schedule with the $600 Savage Average. The game has a $50,000 guarantee and an interesting twist on the game.
