The schedule
Fifteen Day 1 flights run from 11 to 18 October, scheduled at 11am and 4pm on most days, all at $400. Day 2 is on 19 October at 11am, and players who did not play a flight can enter it directly for $1,600.
Why the price is the story
A $500,000 guarantee off a $400 entry needs roughly 1,400 entries to be covered, which is exactly the sort of field a Los Angeles County cardroom with 250 tables can produce over eight days of flights. For the player, the arithmetic is simpler: the guarantee is a floor, so a short field is good news rather than bad.
Getting in
Mega satellites at $360 run on 18 October at 2pm and 7:30pm, and a $200 Flip & Go on 19 October at 11am awards Day 2 seats for the related main event. Registration and structure sheets are published by the room.
Dates, times, buy-ins and the guarantee come from the room's own published structures page, read on 14 October 2026, and can change. Please gamble responsibly.
