The Speed Run tournament on Stake Poker is a fast-paced NL Holdem event built for high action and rapid progression.

With a 5 buy-in, 300 guaranteed prize pool, and 6-max format, it targets aggressive short-stack play. Registration is currently open with the event starting in approximately 5 hours. Ticket entry is available, and players can re-enter up to 9 times, keeping the field dynamic.

This Stake Poker tournament features a buy-in of 5, with the same cost applied to each re-entry. Players are allowed a maximum of 9 re-entries, creating multiple opportunities to stay in contention. Ticket entry is also available, giving flexibility for qualification-based participation.

A guaranteed prize pool of 300 is set for this event. The tournament requires a minimum of 6 players to begin and supports a maximum field size of 7000 players.

Gameplay Format and Table Set-up

This is a No Limit Holdem tournament played in a 6-max format, which increases hand frequency and aggressive play. The shorter table size ensures faster action and more decision-making spots per orbit.

Players begin with a starting stack of 5000 chips, equivalent to 25 big blinds. The level duration is set at 5 minutes, creating a turbo structure that demands quick adaptation and efficient stack management.

Late registration is available for 30 minutes after the tournament begins. This provides a limited window for players to join after the start while maintaining competitive stack depth.

The tournament allows re-entry but does not support rebuys or add-ons. Each re-entry requires a fresh buy-in of 5, and players can re-enter up to 9 times, adding to the prize pool and field size.

All players who register before late registration begins receive bubble protection. This feature offers a safety net near the payout threshold, reducing elimination risk during the bubble phase.
