Players will get a 20-minute break every three blind levels, and a dinner break is scheduled for after Level 12 (approximately 7 p.m.). Late registration will close when play resumes following dinner. This is a freezeout, so reentries are not available in this tournament.

Benjamin Ector is the defending champion. He took it down in 2023 for $406,403, beating out 2,046 players. In 2022, Justin Pechie outlasted 1,773 opponents on his way to securing a $365,899 payout, with Chad Himmelspach triumphing in 2021 for $270,877, the first running of this event.
