Day 1e will start at 7 p.m. local time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, in the Mirada room.
To date, 2003 runners have registered across the first four starting flights. There is every chance today will be the busiest day, as this is players' last opportunity to get in the running, with Day 2 taking place tomorrow at 2 p.m.
Pedro Arroyos, is the one to beat. He is the overall chip leader so far, finishing Day 1a with a stack of 1,757,000. Will anyone surpass him today?

A starting stack is 25,000 chips, and during Day 1, levels last 20 minutes. This will increase to 40-minute levels from Day 2 onward. There are 21 levels on the schedule, or the tournament will play down to 10 players, whichever is first. Players will get a 20-minute break every two hours, after six levels of play.
