Structure Adjusted

Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

As the tournament started with a 30-minute delay, Level 2 (500/1,000/1,000) has been removed.

Because of this adjustment, late registration will remain open until the beginning of Level 10 instead of the end of Level 10 (around 8:35 p.m., after a 60-minute dinner break).
