KPC Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

Welcome back to LES A Casino (formerly Landing Casino), where chips fly and blinds climb once again for Day 1B of the KRW 1,300,000 Korea Poker Cup Main Event.

After the intensity and excitement of yesterday’s Day 1A, the atmosphere inside the poker room is already electric, buzzing with anticipation as new hopefuls take their seats.

Cards are officially in the air for Day 1B at 12:00 local time. It promises to be another grueling session in this five-day marathon event.

All eyes are on who will rise above the rest and follow in the footsteps of Day 1A chip leader Jinze Zhang (540,000), who topped a 282-entry field to close the flight with the lead. Joining yesterday’s survivor lineup is Dicky Tsang (147,000), who boasts over one million in total live earnings and is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

Blinds kick off at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Late registration will remain open until the end of Level 9, giving players plenty of time to join the Main Event action.

The first major milestone for players is to reach the top 15% of the field to lock up a spot in the money. From there, the remaining money finishers will continue to battle down to the final 12%, earning themselves a coveted seat into Day 2.
