Players begin with a 50,000 starting stack, and will play 13 40-minute levels today. There is a break after every three levels, and a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 9. Unlimited reentries are available, with late registration remaining open until the start of Day 2.
This isn’t the last chance to take a shot at the title, however. There is still a turbo Day 1d flight beginning tomorrow at 11 a.m. before all surviving players return for Day 2 at 5 p.m.
