There will be a 15-minute break after every three levels, with levels being 30-minutes long. After they kick things off at noon (12 p.m.) local time, the plan is to play down to a winner and give out another beautiful WSOP bracelet. Players head into Level 23, with blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000 big blind ante, with the average stack around 660,000 chips, so action is sure to be thick and quick.
