Live Event Satellites (in Costa Rica). This takes place on Wednesday and Thursday and players can win an additional buy-in for the following Day 1.

  • Starting Chip Stack: 5,000
  • Buy-in: $400+40

How the Cage Works:

  • Players buy in directly for $5,250 and receive 5,000 in chips.
  • Blinds increase throughout the event, just like in a tournament.
  • If eliminated, players may rebuy once during any of the Day 1 flights.
  • Players may play multiple Day 1 flights and combine their stack for Day 2.
  • It’s a time-based tournament, so at the end of Day 2, players cash in their chips, and every chip is worth cash value (e.g., if you have 25,000 in chips, you’re taking home $25,000).
  • You can’t cash out until Day 2 is over (This is why we call it The Cage).

Day 1 Completion

  • Whatever number of chips you finish Day 1 with, you bag up and take to Day 2 on Saturday. All players who earn chips on Day 1 are forced to play on Day 2.

  • All players can play any Day 1 regardless of whether they are qualified for Day 2 or not.
  • All players’ Day 2 starting stack equals the cumulative chips from the completion of each Day 1 (e.g., finish Wednesday’s Day 1 with 10,000 in chips, and Friday’s Day 1 with 8,000 in chips, then Day 2 starting stack is 18,000 in chips).
