The Final Opening Flight of the Main Event Set to Commence
The fourth and final starting flight for the WSOP International Circuit Main Event kicks off at 12:30pm local time at The Star here in Sydney. Day 1C, which was played out yesterday, received 334 entries, and today’s field is expected to smash that number out of the park.
The first three Day 1’s drew a combined total of 729 entries and 133 players have already bagged chips. Leading the way at the moment are Michael Confos (366,000) from Day 1A, Ali Aflatounian (430,500) from Day 1B and Michael Spencer (545,000) from Day 1C.
Alongside the current chip leaders, a whole slew of familiar faces have already advanced to Day 2. Among them are 2018 WSOP Main Event 7th place finisher Alex Lynskey (404,000), recent WSOPC Sydney High Roller and Six-Max champions Luke Martinelli (334,000) and Huss Hassan (260,500), six-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro (159,500) and defending WSOPC Sydney main event champion Michael Kanaan (126,000).
All Day 1’s play out over the course of fourteen 45-minute levels and every player begins with 30,000 starting chips. Late registration will remain open until 5.20pm local time. This is everyone's last chance to find a bag as they try to progress to Day 2.
