This two-day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open for 12 levels (approx 5 p.m.). There will be 20-minute breaks every four levels, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 16 (approx 7 p.m.).

The starting stack is 40,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 22 30-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 10 and plays down to a winner.

After the win, Murphy described the moment as "ridiculous, euphoric," and that he was "on top of the world."
