The second of two starting flights of this five-day event gets underway at 10 a.m. local time, with late registration open until the start of Level 9 (about 8:15 p.m.). There will be 20-minute breaks every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 8 (~7:00 p.m.). The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for today to play 11 60-minute levels.
Players are permitted one reentry per flight. Traditional PokerNews coverage of this event will begin with Day 2, which begins at 11 a.m. Wednesday for the surviving players and will close after ten more levels of play. Day 3 follows the same structure, while Day 4 plays down to the final five. Day 5 is the finale, where a winner will be crowned.
Last year's event saw Khang Pham win his first WSOP bracelet and $677,326.
"I should have gotten knocked out at the end of Day 3, but I ended up getting really lucky against a great player," Pham told PokerNews after his victory.

The first week of the 2025 World Series of Poker came out swinging with big bluffs, brutal beats, and more than a few moments that had the entire poker world talking.
Whether it was Nick Schulman dropping the coldest line of the summer, Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek shoving blind into four premium hands, or Christopher Zollo turning a meme-worthy alias into a legit bracelet run, the first seven days of poker's biggest festival did not disappoint.
