Here is a look at the structure for that event:
- 11 a.m. starting time
- 60 minute levels
- 3 Day Event

Pennsylvania and Michigan players have options for 12 ring events
Aside from the New Jersey events, Pennsylvania and Michigan will have their own separate series this May.
Their combined prizes will be more than $1 million. Pennsylvania and Michigan remain a “ringed-in” market for the time being, but a new compact may change that.
Michigan just released information about combining player pools.
