All players who find a bag will be in the money and will then return on October 27 for Day 2.

The registration for each Day 1 is open until the start of level ten and one re-entry is allowed per day. In this particular case according to French regulations, it means two entries are possible on each player’s first Day 1 of this tournament, and then one entry on the following days if needed.

Blinds will increase to 60-minute levels in Day 2, and will only be be reduced to 30 minutes each once the heads-up stage on the final day has been reached. There will be a redraw prior to Day 2, followed by the final three and two tables, as well as the nine-handed final table. Players will earn points for the 2024 WPT Player of the Year leaderboard and the winner also receives a $10,400 seat for the 2024 WPT World Championships at Wynn Las Vegas this upcoming December.
