It is absolute last-chance saloon at MGM Cotai in Macao as the fifth and final starting flight, Day 1E, officially gets underway.
The momentum has been building fiercely over the last few days. Following an action-packed double-flight Sunday, the tournament numbers have skyrocketed. Last night’s Day 1D flight attracted another 127 entries, with 15 players successfully bagging up chips.
Combined with Day 1A (147 entries/18 survivors), Day 1B (88 entries/11 survivors), and the recently wrapped Day 1C (181 entries/22 survivors), the total field across the first four flights stands at a staggering 543 entries with 66 players already through to Day 2 and safely in the money.
For anyone who has yet to secure a bag, or those looking to fire their final bullet, this 12:00 PM local time flight represents the ultimate opportunity to claim a slice of the massive MOP 8,000,000 (~USD 990,000) guaranteed prize pool.
The structure remains identical to previous flights: players receive a deep starting stack of 30,000 chips (150 big blinds) with 30-minute levels. Late registration and re-entries will remain open until the start of Level 9 (approximately 4:30 PM local time).
Once this flight concludes, the surviving players from the entire field will immediately unite for Day 2 on Monday, July 6 at 12:00 PM noon local time to play all the way down to a champion.
