Day 2B of the 2017 Suncity Cup Finale Macau Good to Go
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 initial starting flight appetizer has been served, as has the first dish of the Day 2A Main Course and it’s time to move on to Day 2B of the Main Event.
Today is the second of two Day 2’s – Day 2B – and so far 32 players have successfully circumnavigated the tournament minefield and earned themselves a Day 3 starting berth after fighting their way through the initial eight starting flights and Day 2A.
There are already 55 registered Day 2B players registered, and they have all earned their seat the hard way, fighting through one of the eight initial starting flights.
However, registration is still open until the end of level 2 for those who have failed to make the cut so far 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.
This is the last chance though, and any player that busts today is out, although any one of the 32 entrants who qualified for Day 3 yesterday can still re-enter today 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.
With an HK$38,000 (~US$4,870) direct 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.
