Day 1b and Day 1c of 2019 APPT Jeju Main Event Scheduled for Today
A big day is up ahead for the 2019 PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour Jeju ?2,500,000 Main Event with the last two starting flights of the event scheduled for today. Day 1b is about to start at 12:00 p.m. local time (GMT+9), whilst Day 1c of the event will be a turbo flight with starting time at 7:00 p.m. local time (GMT+9).
Day 1a completed on Monday 24th June with 127 total entries, and 30 of them managed to advance to Day 2. Leading the pack is New Zealand's Tae Hoon Han with 296,500 in chips, and this is the stack everybody should aim during the rest of the starting flights, if they want to have more chances for a deep run in the event.
The two starting flights left for the event will see all players start with 30,000 chips, and play in total 13 levels. Day 1b's level length will be 40 minutes, and Day 1c will have a faster structure with 20 minute blinds. All players who bust today, or those who didn't manage to advance through Day 1a, will have the option of a single re-entry during the first nine levels of each Day 1. They will both end after 13 levels, and soon after that total number of players in tomorrow's Day 2, will be known.
The tournament will be played with the new and popular Big Blind Ante format, in an all-in situation the Big Blind will be posted prior to the Ante.
