Notes on the Structure

Most of the players are in the room now, and shortly, they will begin taking their seats. Before they do, here are a few notes on tonight's structure.

Players are starting with 5,000 in chips, and the blinds will be at 100-100. The first four levels will be twenty minutes each, and players can have unlimited rebuys for $100 each for the first four levels as long as they are under the 5,000 chip mark. The rebuy will be worth 2,500 more chips.

After the first four levels, the rebuy period will close, and the levels will move to 15 minutes each. From there, we will play down to a winner!
