MAIN EVENT (30,000,000 VND)

With officially 50 players remaining in the field, hand-for-hand play is now underway.

The tournament is just one elimination away from the money, as the final 49 surviving players will lock up a spot and cash.

Just three eliminations are needed before bagging up for the night, but the short stacks are completely refusing to go home.

In a wild string of hands, every single player on life support has managed to hit a miracle double-up, even when getting the chips in way behind.

The 93 remaining players are now on their 10-minute break. During this break, a chip race of 500-denomination chips is taking place.

The field is dropping fast with only 119 players left at the tables. The pressure is growing, since only 49 of them will get paid and move on to Day 2.

Players are now on their 10-minute break. During this break, a chip race of 100-denomination chips is taking place.

After this break, registration will officially close for Main Event Day 1A.

The final level of late registration for Day 1A of the Main Event has officially arrived. This is the last chance to enter the field before the registration window locks shut at the end of this level and a quick 10-minute break.

Simultaneously, the tournament floor has gotten busier with the launch of Day 1B. This starting flight introduces the newly adjusted 30-minute level structure, shifting away from the usual 40-minute clocks.

The Main Event is off to a flying start. On just the very first flight, Day 1A has already blown past the 300-entry mark and is still climbing, with two full levels of late registration left on the clock.

With five more starting flights still to come, the field is showing incredible numbers and is well on pace to easily crush the tournament guarantee.

Halfway through the registration period, the field has already blown past the 200-entry mark.

That number is going to keep climbing, too, with registration staying wide open until the start of Level 12 at approximately 5:50 PM local time.

The wait is finally over and the cards are in the air!
