The Third and Final Starting Flight: Coverage To Begin Shortly
Welcome to the third and final starting flight for the first event of the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific, the AU$1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator. While Day 1b labors on into the last few levels, Day 1c will kick off at 6:10 p.m. local time. That will allow for some overlap between the two events, and PokerNews will hold off on coverage of the early levels of Day 1c until play wraps up on Day 1b.
Certainly there will be some notables finishing up with their Day 1b play, but the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso, Jeff Gross, George Danzer, and Brandon Shack-Harris have all busted that flight and should be in the mix from the get go in Day 1c. They'll be joined by many, many others as it is expected to be the largest flight of the bunch.
Just as Day 1a and 1b, Day 1c will play out eight 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will be no dinner break, and competitors begin the flight with 3,000 in tournament chips.
Be sure to stay tuned right here for all of the live updates straight to your screen, but don't forget about our continued coverage of Day 1b, which you can follow along with here.
