The 20th Edition of the Manila Super Series Main Event runs its final two flights on schedule today, the first one Flight C kicking off at 1pm. Entering players begin with a stack of 30,000, equivalent to 300 times the opening blinds. Blinds increase every 30 minutes with registration closing at the start of Level 11 (approximately 8:20pm). From there, the flight plays down to ITM of 15% of the field.
Dates: May 29 to June 2, 2024

From the two concluded flights, a collective 85 survivors have qualified for a spot into the Day 2 games. The PHP 10 Million guarantee was surpassed early across Flight B with this season’s Main Event festivities poised to breach a new MSS record prize pool. A final Turbo Flight will also hit the felt at a later 6pm in the evening, allowing players to fire a last minute entry.
In addition to the juicy payouts, the top two finishers of the Main Event will receive an APPT Manila Main Event Package – seat and accommodation, valued at PHP 120,000 (~USD 2,090) taken from the prize pool.
