* The first level will have a single ante on the button.
** The second round (with all the first round winners) will start at level 3.
Play should end in round 9 or in one of the first hands of round 10, that is, in less than four hours. For the second round, use the same structure, starting the remaining players with T1500 chips again.
No one will be allowed to bust out because of the chip race. Anyone in such danger will receive one higher denomination chip.
