Players are on their third break of Day 1b. Blinds will increase to 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante followed by 600/1,200 with a 1,200 big blind ante when the action resumes.

The 75-minute dinner break is scheduled after these two blinds levels with late registration closing on Day 1b after the action resumes. The day will end when the field is down to approximately just 15% with those advancing to Day 2 already securing at least a min-cash with the amount to be announced in the coming days.
