| Blinds: | 40 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 25k |
| Late Entry: | 9 Levels (~8:15 PM) |

The first multi-day event of PPT #4 kicks off on Friday with Day 1a. Event #3 has two starting days, with Day 1b running on Saturday, and the qualifying players returning in the money on Sunday’s Day 2.
Players get 25k in chips to start and levels will last 40 minutes throughout the game, dropping to 20 minutes at heads up. There are 9 levels of open entry, which should mean the last buy-in chance comes at about 8:15 PM. After that, they’ll play down to 12.5% of the starting field no matter how long it takes.
In July, it was local crusher Jimmy Lee who took it all the way to the win. This wasn’t Lee’s first PPT trophy, but it may still hold a special place for him, as his $28,870 winning prize pushed his lifetime earnings on Hendon Mob over $1 million. Lee took down the July prize over Dallas Larson and Josh Myers.
I’ll be back on task for this one and the rest of the series, after another unsuccessful (but enjoyable) attempt at the Seniors title on Thursday.
