The first flight of the re-entry event begins today at noon.
There will be six flights total. Flight B begins today at 4:00 p.m. There will be two more flights (also noon and 4:00) tomorrow and then again on Sunday.
- There is unlimited re-entry.
- Late registration and re-entry are open until the beginning of Level 9.
- Players start with 10,000 in tournament chips.
- Each Day 1 flight will play 18 levels.
- Levels 1-12 are 30 minutes. Levels 13-21 are 40 minutes, and subsequent levels are 50 minutes.
- Each Day 1 flight will play into the money
- There is no dinner break on Day 1. There will be 15-minutes breaks after Levels 4, 8, 12 and 15.
- Day 2 will begin Monday, February 20, at 1:00 p.m.
This multi-flight re-entry event is using a payout structure similar to the system in place for the Colossus event at the WSOP. Rather than designing each flight to finish prior to the money bubble, each flight will play into the money with an independent prize pool. At the end of each flight, all money remaining in that prize pool goes into the Day 2 prize pool. On Day 2, a new payout structure will be created for all remaining players, and everyone advancing to Day 2 will be in the money.
