Event 23, $5,000 Seven-Card Stud - Live Updates

Players begin with $5,000 in tournament chips. All levels up to the final table will last 75 minutes. Final table levels will be 90 minutes with breaks every two rounds. A 60-minute dinner break will follow level 6. Play on the first day will last until the final table or until the 12th level is completed (whichever comes first).
