GGPoker has since confirmed on their Twitter account that the tournament has been postponed and further information was released shortly after.

The late registration will be open for another two hours and reaches into the second scheduled break of the day, and all players can re-enter a maximum of two times in said period.

All those that join the action or run out of chips and buy in again will receive a fresh stack of 25,000 and the tournament continues with nearly the entire level five at blinds of 300/600 and a running ante of 70 to play for.
