Two High Roller Events have already crowned a champion at the 2019 PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Korea festival and defending Main Event champion Michael Soyza lifted the trophy in the two-day ₩8,000,000 ($7,050) Super High Roller. At half the prize, a single-day High Roller played down to a winner a few days ago with Toshiyuki Onda topping a 75-entry strong field. Onda cut a heads-up deal with fellow countryman Kengo Sakurai and both earned themselves a payday of ₩80,440,000 ($70,890).

The final two-day ₩4,000,000 ($3,525) High Roller Event #17 kicks off at 6.30 p.m. local time at the Paradise City Casino in Incheon, South Korea, and a bumper field is expected. The first of two tournament days will feature a total of 11 levels of 40 minutes each and the registration and re-entry period remains open until the end of level 12 on the following day. All participants receive 50,000 in chips and new entries for Day 2 would enter with 20 big blinds.

All those that took a shot at High Roller glory and ran out of the Main Event are expected to join the action, though, the flagship event of the festival remains on the money bubble with many big names still in contention.

At the start of the event, a 30-second shot clock and time bank with a value of 30 seconds per time bank will be put into play.
At the start of play each player will receive six time bank with an additional three time bank will be issued at the start of Day 2 as well as at the Final Table. Furthermore, the event also features the popular Big Blind Ante format. In an all-in situation the Big Blind will be posted prior to the Ante.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to cover all the action as it unfolds.
