At 12:30 p.m. local time, the 2026 Gods of Poker Manila Main Event continues with Day 2 of Flight B, which has attracted 34 entries throughout the nine hours of deep-stacked poker play yesterday. Only 15 players bagged up chips last night and South Korea's Seunghee Lee is so far way out in front with a towering stack of 757,500.
He will be the man to catch inside of the Grand Ballroom at the five star City of Dreams Manila Luxury Hotel Resort & Casino but his advance to the money stages is far from certain, as each of the five flights in the flagship tournament is playing down to the top 13.5% of the field to be secured a cash prize.
Second in chips is Finland's Petteri Miettinen (424,500), while fellow South Korean Eunseok Choi (393,000) is in third. Shenglai Zhang, who has already won a trophy during The Arena of Champions, returns with 388,000 followed by Pandora's Mystery Bounty runner-up Lukasz Jankowski with 369,000.

Among the shorter stacks making it through are John Tech (95,000) and Ronald Haverkamp (85,000) whereas the late registration for Flight B is still open until the cards go back in the air at half past noon.
The recommencing blinds will be 2,000-4,000 with a big blind ante of 4,000 and that gives all late entrants a total of 30 big blinds. Each level for Day 2 of Flight B features a duration of 60 minutes each.
Flight C is also scheduled to run alongside tomorrow as well with the start set for 2 p.m. local time. Two 120-minute levels of late registration are followed by 35-minute levels until the bubble has burst which may actually happen at nearly the same time for both flights today.
The final two flights take place tomorrow on Thursday, August 27, 2026 and represent the last chance to enter the PHP 82,500 buy-in, which comes with a massive PHP 30 Million guarantee. Don't wait too late, as the late registration closes much earlier than all traditional tournaments thanks to the Cronus Structure!
