Players will begin with a 25,000 starting stack, and Day 1b was scheduled to play through 15, 40-minute levels but will wrap up when the tournament clock hits 6:00 in level 14. This is the point of the tournament where the action was stopped yesterday due to hitting 12% of the field.

The blinds begin at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. A 10-minute break will be given to the players after every three levels, with a 40-minute dinner break after level nine. The blinds and antes will reach 2000/4000/4000 at Level 14, which will conclude play for the day.
Players who are unable to bag chips today will have a chance to try again tomorrow on Day 1c. The survivors of the three starting flights will come back as a combined field for Day 2 Sunday, and the tournament will play down to a champion.
