The Main Event features multiple flights running from October 5-9, with the last two Day 1s adopting a Turbo structure. Surviving players will proceed to Day 2 scheduled for October 9 and will battle it out until a winner is crowned on October 12.
Each player will kick off the action with a 25,000 chipstack, with blinds starting at 100/100 played to 40 minute levels for the regular flights. For the turbo flights (Day 1e and Day 1f), levels are set at 20 minutes, increasing to 60-minute levels on Day 2. The tournament has a Big Blind Ante feature coming into play from Level 2.

The package includes the $555 entry fee to the Main Event for Day 1D. The lucky player also gets to enjoy 4 nights’ accommodation at the Intercontinental Hotel from October 7-11.
