The Final Flight, Day 1C, of the PKC Main Event Set to Start at 6 PM
At 6 pm local time, the last of the Poker King Cup Macau 2018 Main Event��s three starting flights, Day 1c, will be starting to provide players their last chance to make it through to Day 2. This is the turbo version of the starting days, meaning that blind levels will last 30 minutes each.
Day 1a attracted 166 entries of which 76 made it through to Day 2, Sunday, September 23, but players who aren��t satisfied with their current stacks can reenter to try and do better. Their biggest stack will go through and the smaller one will be removed out of play. Day 1b��s late registration period will close around 9:15 pm local time so the final numbers for that flight have not been determined yet.
Currently, it��s China��s Zhongcai Peng at the top of the Day 1a counts with 198,200 in chips, closely trailed by Hong Kong��s Winson Yau with 185,000. With 213 entries currently, it is highly possible that the Day 1b chip leader will be bagging even more by the end of the day.
The HK$16,500 buy-in will give players 30,000 in chips to start with. Day 1c will be playing eleven 30-minute levels with a 10-minute break after every four levels. The late registration and reentry period will close at the start of Level 11 which should be around 11:30 pm. Players who manage to find a bag to tag at the end of the day will return for Day 2, Sunday, September 23 at 1 pm local time.
