Main Event Day 1C Begins At 7pm

The Players Series Main Event Day 1C gets underway on December 19 at 7pm. Unlike the earlier flights, this one will see blinds increase at a faster 30 minute pace. Players can jump in anytime as registration is open all night and closing when Day 2 begins.

Keeping in line with affordability for all, the buy in has been set at NTD 15,000 (~US$ 460). A generous NTD 15,000,000 (~US$ 460K) guarantee is in tow. Players that enjoy a deep starting stack are advised to get to the felt early with 30,000 at your disposal. This is a very liberal 300 times the opening blinds. At the end of 12 levels, the remaining players will bag up and head on to Day 2.

Live updates will run once Day 1B ends.
