Today’s schedule is dominated by satellites, with players getting multiple chances to qualify into some of the festival’s headline events.
The poker room is expected to stay busy from morning through late evening, but the main focus shifts to the first major multi-day tournament of the series as Day 1A of the $1M GTD $1,500 Opening Event gets underway at 12:10 p.m. local time.
Players entering Day 1A will start with 40,000 chips, and the day will feature 40-minute levels, with play scheduled to run through 15 levels. Breaks are held after every three levels, and late registration remains open until the start of Level 10, giving players flexibility to join the field throughout the afternoon.
Survivors from all starting flights will return for Day 2 at 12:10 p.m. on Monday, where the level length increases to 60 minutes as the field begins to narrow toward the money and eventual final table. The tournament is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, April 28, with Day 3 and the final table beginning at 12:30 p.m.
