The tournament floor is now filled with the unmistakable sounds of poker being played. Chips are riffling, players are bantering, and decks are being shuffled.

The opening level of the tournament has blinds of 25-50, and lasts for thirty minutes. Each player began play with a 20,000 chip starting stack, and if they bust before the re-entry period concludes, they may purchase a new stack and start from scratch.
