Inkyu Choi Holds the Reins Over Day 1E

Level 11: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

Inkyu Choi

All five qualifiers for the PHP 55,000,000 (~USD 1M) guaranteed APL Main Event have wrapped up with the final heat bringing in the largest field of 218 entries. Another 92 players survived the initial eleven levels, bringing the Day 2 count to 265 runners. That number isn't closed just yet with registration remaining open up until the start of tomorrow's charge.

South Korean contenders once again dominated the field, claiming the top five spots of the Day 1E leaderboard. Inkyu Choi finished on top with a chip count of 299,600 (187 BB), having seized the lead with two last minute eliminations right as the day closed. Compatriot Jiwoon Yoon follows behind with 220,500 (138 BB), along with Chan Woo Min just shy of 200,000.

South Korea’s Sangwoo Chun raised the bar high in the opening heat and continues to hold the reins, having finished with a staggering 550,400 (344 BB) chip count in Day 1A.

All survivors are geared to return to the felt at 11:00 local time, where the race for the money really begins!
