Plan for Day 1
The 2024 edition, which shuffles up and deals at 12:30 p.m. local time, will follow a similar structure, with the shot clock in effect from the start. Each player will have 15 seconds for their first action and 30 seconds for subsequent decisions, with six-time bank cards to extend the clock when needed.
Registration closes at the start of Day 2, and the tournament will play out over eight 60-minute levels on Day 1.
Each player will be given a 250,000 starting stack, which is good for 250 big blinds from Level 1. Should any player opt to use the Day 2 registration, their stack will be worth just over 40 big blinds.
