Now the initial starting flight appetizer has been served it’s time to move on the main course and the Day 2 Main Event. Today is the first of two Day 2’s – Day 2A – and so far 69 players have successfully circumnavigated the tournament minefield and earned themselves a Day 2A starting berth after fighting their way through the initial eight starting flights.

With an HK$38,000 (~US$4,870) 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.

Registration is still open until the end of level 2 for those who failed to make the Day 2 cut and players can buy-in direct with all Day 2 players allowed a single additional re-entry before the end of late registration should they so chose. Any player that busts today can also buy-in directly for Day 2B as well. Even players who qualify for Day 3 today and re-enter tomorrow should they so desire with their largest stack brought forwards and the other taken out of play.

Players start with 100,000 in chips, with blinds starting at 500/1,000 with a 100 running ante and levels have now been extended to 60-minutes with each Day 2 comprising of nine 60-minute levels.
