Event #10 will have 20 minute levels, as with most of the single day events during the WCC. The players will be competing for the first place prize, the World Cup of Cards trophy, and tournament leadboard points. The leadboard winner at the end of the series will get a Carribean Package valued at CAD $8,000.
