Players will begin with 100,000 in chips, and action before the flop is pot-limit. Action after the flop is no-limit. Blinds will begin at 500-500, and the levels will be 60 minutes long. The rules also stipulate that players have 30 seconds to act on their hands, and they will be given a small number of time extension buttons to extend their decision time by 30 seconds when they are needed.
