Players will each be starting with 50,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Blinds increase every 40-minutes on Day 1 and every 60-minutes on Day 2. Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once only 12.5% of the field remains.
Late registration is available until the end of Level 12, with 15-minute breaks taking place every three levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 9. Unlimited reentries are allowed, and players may play additional Day 1 flights in an attempt to increase their chip counts. If a player does play multiple Day 1 flights and is able to bag two separate stacks, only the higher of the two stacks will advance to Day 2.
A Gold Pass to the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event in November is also up for grabs and will be awarded to the first place finisher. The package is valued at $10,300 with half of it going to the buy in and the other half will cover travel expenses and accommodations.
