The WPT Action Clock has generally received positive reviews since it debuted at the Season XIV WPT 📈 Tournament of Champions. The goal was to speed up play in later stages of a tournament – striking a balance 📈 in speeding up play but also offering opportunities for time extensions when players have particularly difficult decisions.

However, as tour events 📈 continue to attract bigger and bigger fields, a few changes were added beginning with the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker 📈 Showdown.

The Action Clock comes into play when a tournament is one full table off the money bubble and continues until 📈 a champion is crowned. Each player has 30 seconds to act on a hand, and received four time-extension chips for 📈 an extra 30 seconds each. Players reaching the final three tables of the tournament are then reset to a maximum 📈 of six time-extension chips, and those at the final table are reset to a maximum of eight chips.
