Last Call for the Black-and-Gold Gauntlet

Today is your final chance! The GOP Incheon Main Event closes registration with its last two flights today starting at 12:30PM for Day 1D and 6PM for Day 1E.

FLIGHT DATE START TIME OPENING LEVELS END OF REGISTRATION POST-REG BLIND LEVELS
Day 1D May 21 12:30 60 mins/ 120 mins 15:45 30 mins
Day 1E May 21 18:00 60 mins/ 120 mins 21:15 20 mins

And there is serious value on the table.

With 135 entries recorded so far, the Main Event currently sits in overlay territory and will need a minimum of 350 entries to fully cover the guarantee. For players still on the fence, this creates one of the best opportunities of the festival: a massive guaranteed prize pool regardless of whether the field reaches the target.

For a buy-in of KRW 2,200,000 (~USD 1,500), players receive a starting stack of 120,000 — a deep 120 big blinds at the opening level. Even late entrants are far from short. Jumping in at Level 2 still provides 60 big blinds, while max late registration before Level 3 closes leaves players with a very playable 30 big blinds.

So far, the player everyone is chasing is Kyung Min Lee, whose towering stack of 1,729,000 chips equals more than 14 starting stacks and currently sits at 144 big blinds based on the lowest uncompleted level.

Follow the action via the live reporting which begins at the close of registration at 15:45.
