hand 1 · round 1 of 6 · the clock starts with the first seat

The lowest raise folds. Its chips pay the table.

Nobody is seated yet. The first player to sit down with 1,000 TOPDECK starts round one's ten-minute clock. When it runs out, whoever raised least that round folds, and every chip in that seat's stack splits evenly across the seats still in.

How a hand plays

Sit. Take an open seat with 1,000 or more. That counts as your raise for the round you sit in.
Raise. Every round, raise 100 or more. 90% goes on your stack, 10% into the pot. No raise counts as zero.
Fold. When the 10-minute clock runs out, the lowest raise that round folds. Its whole stack splits evenly across every seat still in. Ties fold the smaller stack.
Top of the deck. After round six, or when one seat is left, every seat still in is paid its stack and the top stack takes the pot too.

worked example · round 3, six seats in

The seats raise 900, 700, 600, 500, 400 and 200. The clock runs out.

The 200 seat folds. Its stack of 4,100 splits five ways: 820 lands on each seat still in.

Round six closes with a top stack of 14,300 and a pot of 2,600. That seat is paid 16,900; every other seat still in gets its stack back.
