The PokerStars LIVE poker room in the City of Dreams casino complex is once again calling poker aficionados from near and far for the third and final day of the 2017 PokerStars Festival Manila Main Event in the smoke-free Grand Ballroom area. The tournament comes with a price tag of PHP55,000, which equals approximately $1,092.

Throughout the previous two starting days, a field of 309 entries emerged to not only put the event on track to meet but eclipse the guaranteed prize pool of PHP20 million and action will get back underway at 2 p.m. local time. So far, 81 players have bagged up chips for Day 2 on Sunday August 6th 2017 and all those unfortunate enough not to carry over a stack yet can re-enter the competition today.

Michael Falcon leads the field of survivors thus far with a stack of 307,100, followed by Andre Peters (241,500) and Dhane Chainani (235,200), while Day 1a chip leader Elan Zak sits in fourth place overall with 234,200.

The eventual winner of the Main Event will be crowned on August 7 and all participants receive 30,000 in starting chips, the late registration and re-entry period lasts until the end of level nine and following break. A total of 12 levels of 45 minutes are scheduled for Day 1c and play concludes at approximately 11.30 p.m. local time, while the late registration of the players party at the nearby Chaos night club lasts until two in the morning.

PokerStars Festival Manila Main Event starting days (times are listed in local time):

Day 1a – August 3 at 2 p.m. (45-minute levels): 132 entries, 38 survivors
Day 1b – August 4 at 2 p.m. (45-minute levels): 177 entries, 43 survivors
Day 1c – August 5 at 2 p.m. (45-minute levels)

The survivors for each of the Day 1s will reconvene for Day 2 (August 6) and play will restart with one-hour levels. All players remaining after Day 2 will continue on Day 3 (August 7), and the level duration will increase to 75 minutes each while the tournament will play down to a winner.
