Championships Event: Seongsu Kong bags the largest at Day 1B; complete Day 2 chip counts inside; one hour left to enter


Under : APT Event, APT Philippines, Featured, News

Another big day at APT Philippines II 2019 with Day 1B of the CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENT as the star attraction. The featured tournament kicked off yesterday at Resorts World Manila with 94 runners for Day 1A. Today saw a much larger field of 141 entries. At a cost of PHP 82,500 to enter, the combined turnout of 235 entries was more than enough to exceed the advertised PHP 10 million (~USD 191,000) guarantee. And with registration still open for one hour in Day 2, players are in for an even richer pot well over PHP 15 million.

The 84 Day 1B survivors merge with the 43 Day 1A survivors for 127 players in Day 2. Game resumes on Friday, September 20 at 1pm for another eight rounds of action. Registration is still open for one hour, closing at the start of Level 10.
