But as this is a bit of a lower buy-in, who knows who will take this down as many less familiar names will be participating in this event. Players will get 50,000 chips in their stack when they take their seats during the first three hours and 45 minutes of late registration. The level duration will be 15 minutes until Level 17 where it will increase to 20 minutes each.
If things don't go to plan, players can reenter up to three times to try again. Day 1 will come to an end when seven hours and 45 minutes of play have passed with Day 2 resuming on Sunday, November 15 at 7:05 p.m. CET. Play will then continue until a new champion can be crowned.
PokerNews will be there for it all, so make sure to follow along from the first beep until the final river card.
