When play reaches one table away from the money, they will implement Protection Poker's Action Clock system, which gives players 30 seconds to act on their hand, with a set number of Time Extension chips for use when needed.

Play will continue on Day 3 (Wednesday) and Day 4, (Thursday) halting when they reach the final six players. The WPT televised final table will be held April 1, 2020, in the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor in Las Vegas.

Last year followed the same structure, bringing out 1,415 entrants, and it was Vinicius "Viny" Lima who emerged victorious, winning $728,430. Included in that amount was a $15,000 seat in the Baccarat Crystal Tournament of Champions. In addition, he took home a Hublot Big Bang Steel Watch and the WPT Champions Cup trophy.
