Tournament Structure Changed

Originally, Bally's Main Event Mania $1,500 Main Event called for Day 1 to play through 15 levels. Now, an altered plan has been put in place.

Instead of 15 levels, just 12 will be played today. That will leave registration open until the start of Day 2, which will remain scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday. In theory, that should allow for many more entries as players run out of steam in the other major event taking place in town.

As part of the new plan, tonight's dinner break will be nixed and a normal 15-minute break will instead occur after Level 9.
