This multi-day event features several Day 1s running throughout the week. Each player starts with 10,000 chips and plays to a 10-minute clock, with blinds beginning at 50/100/12a. The competition continues until only 11% of the field remains or if Level 20 is reached—whichever comes first. The surviving players return for the final showdown at 12:30 p.m. UTC on the following available Sunday to wrap things up.

With progressive bounties in play from the get-go, you've got the chance to win money even before reaching Day 2!
