Players will start with 250,000 in chips and blinds will increase every 30 minutes. The first day of the tournament will play 15 levels and return on Monday at 12:35 EST (17:35 GMT) for Day 2. Day 3 will play out on Tuesday and the finale will be held on Wednesday. Registration will close just before the beginning of Day 2 and up to three re-entries are allowed during the registration period.
