The bigger buy-in will give players 30,000 in chips to start with and blind levels will last 40-minutes in length.
There will be 15-minute breaks after every three levels of play and players are allowed unlimited re-entry with registration remaining open until the start of Level 10 (approximately 5:55 p.m.).
Day 1a will play until 11% of the field is reached and players who register for the event before the end of Level 1 will see a $40 discount in the rake they have to pay.
