Casino employees from across the globe will take their seats to battle it out for the first coveted gold bracelet of the 2017 series.

Players begin the day at 11:00 a.m. with 5,000 starting chips and will play 20 levels with blinds going up every 30 minutes. Late registration will conclude at the end of six levels at approximately 2:20 p.m. As was the case last year, each player is entitled to a single re-entry during the registration period. There will be a 20-minute break every four levels, with a scheduled 90-minute dinner break at the conclusion of Level 12 at approximately 5:40 p.m.
Day 2 will start back up at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow, when blinds will start at 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante, with blinds increased every 60 minutes. Play will complete when a winner is crowned and the first gold bracelet of the series is awarded in this opening event.
