In addition to the prize money offered at this week's events, there is a series-long leaderboard. The top three finishers on the leaderboard will receive entry into the $5,000,000 ClubWPT Gold Freeroll Invitational at Wynn Las Vegas from December 13-15, along with a $1,500 travel stipend.

Players will begin the tournament with 30,000 in starting chips with blinds at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Day 1 the players will play 30 minute levels, with a 15 minute break after every four levels of play. Registration will close at the start of Level 9. Day 1 flights will end once 12.5% rounded down of the field remains. Payouts will begin on Day 2.

Participants may play in all Day 1 flights. If a player qualifies for Day 2 more than once, they may only play the higher chip stack. The lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive the lowest Day 2 payout. Day 2 blinds will begin at the lowest level of play during the Day 1 flights. Levels will last 40 minutes on Day 2 until the end of the event.
