my longest tournament was a 10k Sunday with 25,000 players and by the time I left I was playing for 7.00 hours and still had over 1,000 players.

My longest tournament played online was 9 hours. Live 15+ hours at the world series. Yes we started at 10AM and ended about 1:20AM the next morning. Long freaking day.

Wsop 2009. $1000 buy in. Day 1 started at 1230pm ended at 230am. I was exhausted. I was able to win an all in for my tournament life with K8 against 22. I hit a K on flop and he never improved. Was blind vs blind. Was able to cash the next day before busting out but it is the only event that I have ever played because it was so physically and mentally taxing on me.

13 hours, it was horrible, but thoroughly

Those who played all day WSOP How does the tournaments break for dinner and lunch for the players that are playing that long?

A long time ago I played a tournament that went over 14 hours. I have to admit though that I shy away from the longer ones. Not sure I have the stamina for them any more, not that I ever actually did. I recall snoozing on my keyboard between hands.

It was a 2 day tournament at my local casino. First day lasted 12 hours. Started the next day at 11am and played for a solid 10 hours.

Wow, those are crazy times! My longest was like 6hrs, a non turbo tourney and I did make the final table.............

6hour and 50 odd mins online mtt, finish 3rd.

If we are talking about mutli day tournaments i Played at the hard rock and played 12 hours the first day and 5 hours the next day which was my longest. I wound up finishing 58th out of 1958 runners.. continiously was 13 hours.. and i came in 6th out of 108 runners. it was a fun grind got done just in time to go to breakfast!!

I played about 6 hours in the tournament. It's a long time for me.

WSOP 14 hours on day 1 and then onto day 2.

Almost 8 hours, definitely not fun

The longest my poker tournament lasted around eight hours, I almost went crazy, the more I am in these tournaments, I try not to play

The longest was around 10 hours,good thing i managed to cash in,so the effort wasn't in vain

acr every tourney feels like 6 plus if you make the end of reg

The longest byo tournament is the Bounty Series with a buy-in of 2.20. I played nine hours

Interesting question - when I first started playing I entered a MOSS 0.55 buyin event on ACR.
The number of players was something like 6000 if my memory is correct but what I remember most is that the late registration period lasted for SIX hours.
It was excruciating!!
I played for 12 hours - and this was when I had only been playing poker for about 2 months, so it was abnormally long for what I had been used to. At that point I had final tabled a couple of those online $10gtd freerolls ACR runs, and those go for about 3-4 hours, but 12 hours was quite long for me.
I ended up placing in the top 120. I think 108, it was pretty long for such a novice.

Agree - wish they'd shorten the late registration period of ALL tourneys.

Are these super long online tourneys any different for breaks - compared to common (every day) tourneys - that give everyone a WHOPPING 5 minute break every 1 hour? Sometimes we have to do things that take more than 5 minutes!

I wonder how the Venom tourney on ACR is structured for breaks/lunch/dinner. Seems very tight to only give 5 minute breaks for such a LONG multi-day tourney.

Luve how are the breaks and lunch/dinners structured for these multi-day live events? From watching poker vlogs - I surmise there are 15 minute breaks ever so often (how often), and a dinner break (how long is that)?

I can not boast much any micro tournament for 4hs and a half. Long time for little money.
