The Structure

The first round affords each player a starting stack of 20,000 chips, with initial blinds at 150 and 300. Levels increase every fifteen minutes, which means we will shortly be approaching the 300 and 600 level. No player has been eliminated so far, but with rapidly and relentlessly escalating blinds, that won't remain the case for long. The levels will next increase to 400 and 800, then 600 and 1,200 and finally (assuming any match makes it that far) 1,000 and 2,000.
