Today, players of Day 1b will try to imitate them by playing on the same structure as yesterday: 25,000 chips to start, 60-minute levels, a 20-minute break every two levels, and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 8. Late registration will be closed after this dinner break; only one reentry is allowed. Then, the day will conclude at the end of Level 11.
