The first step of the Event consists in making all the players (ISPT expects their number to be comprised between 20,000 and 30,000) competing online, simultaneously, on a dedicated software and using electronic pads which will be offered to them, from their seats in the stadium.
During the second step, the 3,000 top-ranked players still in the running will be gathered around real tables set up on the lawn of the stadium, to compete in real mode.
Each of these 3,000 players will earn a piece of the 30 M$ guaranteed Prize.
The last step is the Final Table, where the last 10 players will compete for the remaining 17.5M$ prize, the Winner earning 10 M$.
