Players will begin the day with 30,000 chips. Blinds will be 30 minutes in length and will start at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 11 and play will end when 15% of the field remains at which point all remaining players will advance to Day 2 and be guaranteed at least a min-cash.
