In addition to the ring, players are also competing for a large chunk of change with at least $1 million guaranteed to be in the prize pool.
The event kicks off at 7:05 p.m. BST (2:05 p.m. EDT) with players starting off with 25,000 in chips worth 125 big blinds during the opening blind level. Players will have plenty of opportunities to build a monster stack with unlimited re-entries permitted during the 195-minute late registration window.
Blinds will increase every 15 minutes for the first dozen blind levels. After that, the pace will speed up with 10-minute blind levels until the final table is reached, at which point GGPoker s final table rules will take over. Blinds will be pushed back at the final table so that the average stack is at least 40 big blinds and blinds will increase a certain number of hands instead of by time.

Klingenberg came into form at exactly the right time this week. With Maryland’s Live! Casino & Hotel hosting its Pokerfest between May 14 and 23, local reg Klingenberg won a warmup event on Sunday. The casino’s monthly $500 Bounty event attracted 137 entrants, some of whom had traveled from Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
