Players will start the day with 20,000 in chips. The levels will last 20 minutes and the tournament will stop when there is 5% of the field remaining while 15% of the field will be in the money. Another starting flight will take place on Monday, April 29. All remaining players will combine for Day 2 on Tuesday, April 30 at 1 p.m.
Registration will be open until the end of level eight which will be 400/800 with an 800 big blind ante. Players will be able to register with 25 big blinds if they decide to register at the end of late registration. There will be a 20-minute break after every six levels. Players that bust out do have the opportunity to reenter into a following flight.
