Players will get 250,000 chips in their starting stacks and play 15-minute levels for the first eight levels. The level duration will then increase to 20-minute each until the final table has been reached. Once that stage of the tournament has been reached for Day 2 on Saturday, April 17, the levels will go up to 30 minutes once the remainder of the last level has been played.
Players can reenter up to two times if needed during the first four hours and forty minutes of play. As this is a progressive knockout tournament, all players start with a bounty of $5,000 on their heads. Once a player is eliminated, 50% of their bounty will be added to the bounty of the player who knocked them out and the other half will go to their bankroll.
