Game Notes
A few notes about today's first round...
Matches will feature 20-minute levels, with the blinds increasing thusly: 100-200, 100-300, 200-400, 300-600, 400-800, 500-1,000, 600-1,200, 800-1,600, 1,000-2,000, 1,200-2,400, 1,500-3,000, 2,000-4,000, 3,000-6,000. (No antes in heads-up play.)
Players will start with 30,000 chips. Check the blog for updates on chip counts in individual matches, as we won't be updating those over on the "Chip Counts" page as in other events.
The schedule has the first round starting at 5 p.m. and the second beginning at 10 p.m., although that schedule could be subject to change.
Also, only the top 32 will be paid in the event, meaning those who win two matches today will still need to win one more tomorrow to make it to the cash.
