The fourth installment of these starting flights will begin at 5 p.m local time here at The Lodge Poker Club in Round Rock, TX. This event sports a hefty $750,000 guarantee with a $800 buy-in that works for both regulars and grinders alike.

All players will start the day with 30,000 in chips and play will not halt on Day 1 until just 12% percent of the field is left, all making the money for the start of Day 2. Blinds will be 30-minutes in length, having a 15-minute break after every four levels of play and the late registration period will remain open until the beginning of Level 9.

All runners will be chasing Aden Salazar for that top spot as of now, after earning himself a 722,000 stack in the first flight.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be here with all the live updates throughout this event, so stay tuned.
