This event guarantees $2 million dollars and there have been 714 entries between the Phase One tournaments, direct entries and re-entries across the live and online events.

Direct buy-ins will start with 1,000,000 chips and players will compete for a total of nine levels at 20-minutes a piece. There will be one, 10-minute break after Level 5. Around 3:10 p.m. players will bag up and prepare to come back for 5:00 p.m. for Day 2. Registration will remain open until the end of Level 12, and players are allowed a single re-entry should they bust before then.
