A new format is being showcased at the Summer Slam this year. Starting on Monday, a $125 buy-in no-limit hold'em event will guarantee a minimum of $50,000 to the prize pool. The event will span four days, with the first three featuring six separate starting flights. Players may enter into more than one flight, and any player that finishes more than one flight will take their largest finishing stack forward to Day 2.
Of course, PokerNews will be on the floor to bring you live coverage for the entire tournament. Here's the schedule for Event #4:
