Day 1E of the 2017 Suncity Cup Finale Macau
Day 1E of the 2017 Suncity Cup Finale Macau

Welcome back poker fans to the PokerNews live coverage of the 2017 Suncity Cup Finale Macau, brought to you from the Poker King poker room at the Venetian Macau.

The ten-day festival, running Nov 23 – Dec 2, boasts a host of events including an HK$12,000 buy-in side event with an HK$1 million guarantee, an HK$80,000 buy-in High Roller event and an HK$20,000 buy-in deep-stacked tournament.

However, it is the $8M GTD Suncity Cup Main Event that will be attracting the most attention and this will be the only event with PokerNews live coverage.

Boasting an affordable HK$6,600 (~US$845) buy-in the tournament looks primed to attract an eclectic mix of keen recreational players and seasoned professionals, all eager to win a share of the HK$8M (~US$1M) guaranteed prize pool.

There are eight starting flights to chose from, including two with turbo structures, giving players the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to choosing when and how to begin their quest for glory.

Players buying into any of the Day 1 Main Event flights sit down with 15,000 chips and play eighteen 40-minute levels with blinds starting at 25/50. Late registration is open until the start of the level 10 and multiple re-entries are permitted while late registration is available.

Players are allowed to play more than one Day 1, but should they progress to Day 2 more than once, only their largest stack is taken through with them. Play continues on Day 1 until only 15 percent of the field remains, with these players making it to Day 2.

In a small twist, it is possible to buy into the HK$8 million guaranteed Main Event on Day 2A or Day 2B for HK$38,000 (US$4,850). Anyone taking this route will receive a 100,000-chip starting stack.
