Players are on their third 20-minute break of Day 1a. The blinds will increase to 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante before moving up to 600/1,200 with a 1,200 big blind ante after that.
A 75-minute dinner break will take place after these two levels and late registration will close after the dinner break. Then we will have a second level of 600/1,200 with a 1,200 big blind ante before blinds increase again after that until the day ends when the action is down to just 15 percent of the field.
