Structure Notes

The structure for this tournament is incredibly player-friendly. Levels are 75 minutes long until the money bubble bursts. Once that happens, every subsequent level will last 90 minutes through the end of the tournament.

In addition to long, slow levels, players are starting with 500 big blinds in their stacks. A player could conceivably buy in at the end of late registration and he or she would start Level 3 with 125 big blinds. The blinds increase gradually enough from that point to still provide plenty of play.

We'll play seven levels today and seven levels tomorrow. Day 3 will play as long as is required to reduce the field to a final table of nine. Those nine will play down to a champion on Friday.
