This event will play down to a champion throughout two days and Day 1 will wrap up once the money bubble has burst. One day later, all survivors will return at 1.05 p.m. EST to then determine a winner and the final table in this 8-max format will commence when nine players remain. All finalists will receive an additional 90 seconds of time bank.
The PokerNews live reporting team will provide all he action from start to finish, and the final day will also be broadcasted on the PokerStars Twitch channel with cards-up coverage on a delay of at least 20 minutes.
