The high rollers to find their way to the felt today will be met with a starting stack of 100,000 chips and will play through 30-minute levels until a winner is crowned. Those unfortunate enough to bust will be allowed to re-enter for an unlimited amount of time, with registration closing at the end of Level 10. Approximately 15% of the field will be paid.
A shot clock will be implemented from the start of the event, with all players being given a total of six time bank chips. A singular time bank may be redeemed for 30 extra seconds of thinking time. The players who are seated at the first hand of every even level number (2, 4, 6, 8 etc), will receive one extra time bank.
There will be a 15-minute break every four levels, with an additional 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 14.
