Today’s lineup: Main Event FINAL 8 to be determined; Monster Stack and Ante Only Turbo

Today is sure to be another big day at APT Korea Seoul 2018 with three events taking place here at Paradise Casino in Grand Walkerhill. First up is of course the Main Event with 21 players returning to the felt for the race to one of the Final 8 spots.

Action resumes at 1pm with the blinds at Level 17 4,000-8,000 ante 1,000. Blinds increase every 60 minutes. Total chips in play is 8,500,000. Average stack is 404,761. Everyone is already guaranteed a minimum of KRW 2,119,000. You can follow the action via our Live Updates

For a quick rundown of the numbers, the Main Event drew in 170 entries for a prize pool of KRW 164,900,000. Top 29 places earn a cut with 8 players already paid last night.

Entering Day 3 as the frontrunner is USA’s Jinwoo Kim with 767,000. Kim finished runner-up at APT Korea Incheon 2017 Main Event and is well on his way to securing one of those final table seats. Just a few chips behind the leader is Japan’s Teruhisa Aoyama with 764,000.
