Michael Kim Falcon Bulldozes Through Main Event Day 1B

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Michael Kim Falcon

The 2024 APPT Cambodia Main Event wrapped up Day 1B at NagaWorld in Phnom Penh with 29 players surviving the 15 rounds of scheduled play. Early in the heat, Denmark's Michael Kim Falcon stormed to the top and parked there all day, bagging up the largest stack of 491,000.

Out of the many pots Falcon accumulated today were numerous eliminations that included Adam Lawler, Oliver Schulze, Hwang Choong, and David Erquiaga. One of his biggest pots was up against Nicola Spicher whose Q♠ 8♠ two pair on the turn could not push out the Dane's A♦ 7♦ drawing hand that completed a flush on the river Q♦ 3♠ J♦ 8♣ 3♦ . Falcon is running red hot at the festival. Just days prior, he finished second at the APPT National.

Ira Blumenthal

Down the Day 1B rung, also surviving were NagaWorld Kick Off champion Itsuki Homma, APPT Cambodia Super High Roller runner up Nevan Yu Chung Chang, 2007 APPT Philippines runner up Ira Blumenthal, Chinese players Yunsheng Sun, Xiaosheng Zheng, Guiyang Wang, and Team Cimitarra's Yannick Leonard.

The survivors have a couple of night's off before heading back for Day 2 on November 24, 2024 where they will be hunting down a piece of the US$ 500,000 advertised prize pool.

In partnership with Connaissance Management Group, the Main Event has now drawn a combined 299 entries with 51 advancing to Day 2.Up next is Day 1C which is the last flight to enter. For those planning to attend, get there early as this will likely attract the biggest crowd. Flight kicks off at 12pm on November 23, 2024.

For a buy in of US$ 1,650, players start with 30,000 which is 300 times the opening blinds. All Day 1 heats play 15 levels of 40 minute blinds which increases to 60 minutes at Day 2 and 75 minutes on the final day.
