Corine Shi

After the scheduled 12 rounds of play, the final entry flight of the PS Main Event completed with 90 entries in total and 41 advancing to Day 2. Navigating to the top of that list was Corine Shi with a stack of 162,500, and at her heels is Wu Yi Syuan with 162,000.

Players Series

The Players Series Main Event Day 1E gets underway on December 20 at 8pm. Unlike the earlier flight, this one will see blinds increase at a faster 20 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 16,500 (~US$ 510). 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 1D ends.
