Poker players from near and far are expected to join the action at the Asia Poker Arena for the final flight of the flagship NT$ 33,000 Main Event, which is up to 353 entries after four flights thanks to the strong turnout of 208 entries in the ongoing Flight D. However, nearly 600 total entries are needed to reach the NT$ 17 Million guarantee and that's still some ways to go.
Today featured two satellites with 15 tickets each and the already completed final day of the Titan Stack Boosted Edition added another 27 players to the mix including reigning Gods of Poker Manila Main Event champion Dakota Anderson.
The improved Cronus Structure comes into play during which t levels of 60 minutes each are followed by one 120-minute level and when the registration closes at 10.30 p.m. local time, all entrants at the last minute will enter with 30 big blinds as they receive 120,000 in chips to enter their journey.
Here is what will get you the most play:
Level 1: 60 minutes at 500-1,000/1,000 (120 bb)
Level 2: 60 minutes at 1,000-2,000/2,000 (60 bb)
Level 3: 120 minutes at 1,5,000-3,000/3,000 (40 bb)
Each of the starting flights plays down to the top 13.5% of each field and all survivors are guaranteed a portion of the prize pool. For Day 2, the blinds will roll back to 8,000-16,000/16,000 and 50 players will have qualified across the first four flights.
The Gods of Poker live reporting team will focus on Flight D as of the third level of play and once the bubble has burst, keep an eye on the final flight as well.
Flight A: 35 entries - 5 qualified
Flight B: 39 entries - 6 qualified
Flight C: 71 entries - 10 qualified
Flight D: 208 entries - 29 players to qualify (ongoing)
