| Blinds: | 40 Minutes for Day 1 |
| Starting Stack: | 40k |

| Day 1 Ends: | 12.5% of the Field; All Day 2 Players in the Money; Players must bag to cash |
Friday marks the start of the NLH Main Event. The action kicks off at 1 PM, with 40-minute blinds and a 40k starting stack.
Entries are open for 9 levels, putting the final entry at about 8:15 PM. Day 1 action continues until the field hits 12.5%, with the remaining players bagging for Sunday’s Day 2.
Note that all Day 2 players are in the money, but players must bag a stack on one of the Day 1s to be eligible for a payout. This is a best stack forward event, which means players can fire bullets in both Day 1 flights, and play the biggest bag on Day 2, with their smaller bag scoring an immediate min-cash payout on Sunday.
In the first PPT of 2026, Cam Stewart was the Main Event winner. It was his first PPT trophy, defeating Travis Darroch heads up for the win over 329 entries for the biggest share of $309,425 in prizes.
