Players will begin the day with 25,000 chips, with blinds starting at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Levels will last 40 minutes today, before increasing to 60 minutes on Days 2 and 3. There will be a fifteen minute break after every third level, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 9, expected to start around 7:40 p.m. local time. Late registration will close at the end of the dinner break, at about 8:55 p.m. Players who are eliminated before registration closes are allowed two re-entries.
Fifteen levels will be played today, after which the remaining players will bag and tag their chips before returning for Day 2 on Tuesday, July 12th, for a 1:00 p.m. restart.
