Today's Format

Today's format will see each player start with 1,500 in chips and they may rebuy whenever they are 1,500 or less in chips. Rebuys are open for the first three levels and for $100 they will receive 1,000 in tournament chips.

At the end of the rebuy period players have the option of a single or double add-on regardless of their chip stack.

We've already received word that several players are bringing plenty of rebuy chips to the table. Steve Topakas and Van Marcus told us they expected to spend most of the $3,000 they brought to the table, while Mitchell Carle was spotted puchasing chips worth twice that amount before play. We also expect the likes of Bruno Portaro, Roy Bhasin and Harris Pavlou to be amongst the rebuy action early on!
