| Date: | Oct 5, 11 AM |
| Blinds: | 30 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 25k |
| Late Entry: | 10 Levels (Entries Close About 4:45 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | One-Day Event |
The main game on Monday is the $500 PKO. $220 goes to the prizes, with a $200 bounty on each player to start. As a progressive bounty, the bounty values will increase with each knockout, with half the eliminated player’s bounty going to the winner’s pocket, and the other half added to their bounty.
The game starts at 11 AM, and players get 25k for their $500. Blinds are 30 minutes, and players can buy a stack for the first 10 levels of play, putting the end of entries at about 4:45 PM. There will be a dinner break following Level 14, about 7:30 PM. This is a one-day event, so the ring will be awarded before they finish.
In January, Sunny Lubana from Saskatoon picked up his second ring, over a field of 399 entries with a combined prize pool of $167,580. Last October, Die Hard Poker League player Chris Potter won it over a field of 325 entries for combined prizes of $136,500.
