A series of $65 and $250 satellites will take place in the weeks leading up to the $1,100 buy-in, $1M Main Event, which kicks off May 16.

The Main Event will feature three starting flights – all with a noon start time - beginning with Day 1A on Thursday, May 16. Days 1B and 1C will then be on Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18 respectively. The remaining players from each flight will combine on Sunday, May 19 at 11:00 a.m. and play until a champion is crowned.

The Main Event final table will be broadcast LIVE (15-minute delay) worldwide on msptpoker.com using RFID technology allowing all viewers to see the hole cards. In addition, the entirety of the Main Event will be live reported in the MSPT's live blog.
