| Date: | May 10, 2 PM |

| Day 1 Ends: | One-Day Event |
The side game on Sunday is the Progressive Knockout. Note that the title on the structure says “$450 PKO”, but the game is actually a $560 buy-in, with $300 for prizes, $200 for the bounty, and $60 for fees.
As is typical with the PKO, when a player is knocked out, half their bounty goes into the winner’s pocket, while the other half gets added to the winner’s head. So, with a knockout where both players are still on the starting stack, the winner will get $100 in their pocket immediately, and their bounty also increases to $300.
The booty action gets going at 2 PM, and blinds are 30 minutes long. Players can get into the game or rebuy for 8 levels, or until about 6:45 PM. They’ll play down to the trophy in this one-day event.
In the first series of 2026, Jordan Panas and Benny Sarnelli chopped it up, with Panas taking the win and Sarnelli scoring the biggest payday. That game drew 118 entries for combined prizes of $56,050.
