Monster Stack Starts at Noon
Today is Day 1 of the popular Monster Stack, the $365 no-limit hold'em event that gives players twice as many starting chips as the series' other events of the same buy-in.
Last season, Cory Waaland (pictured) defeated a field of 613 entries to claim the top prize of $38,623 and what was, at the time, his fifth gold ring. Waaland has gone on to add two more rings to his collection in the meantime, and the now-seven-time winner is a likely candidate to return today in defense of his title.
Here are the vitals for this event:
- Players begin with 20,000 chips
- Levels 1-12 are 30 minutes apiece
- Levels 13-21 are 40 minutes apiece
- Late registration is available until the start of Level 13
- There is a dinner break after Level 12
- Day 1 concludes at the end of Level 21

Cards go in the air at noon.
