Players will start with 25,000 in chips with the blinds starting at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Blinds will escalate every 30 minutes with a 10-minute break after every four levels. Late registration will end at the start of level 9 and players who do not find a bag in this flight will be able to play tonight in Day 1c starting at 6 P.M. tonight. Play will continue until 12.5% of the field is reached and those players will return on Sunday May 22nd at 11 A.M. to play down to the winner.
