Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

The inaugural Korea Poker Cup series taking place at Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort will see the spotlight shine today on the Main Event featuring a substantial KRW 800,000,000 (~USD 544,077) guarantee and the first Super High Roller with a $25,000 buy-in at 16:00.

Day 1C is the third of five starting flights costing KRW 1,300,000 (~US$ 890) to enter, adding another tranche of contenders to the 49 out of 387 entries that already bagged their chips for Day 2 in the previous two flights.

Once at the tables, players start with a stack of 30,000 which is a deep 150 times the opening blinds. The blinds increase at 40 minute intervals, and late registration stays open until the start of Level 10 at around 19:30.

Cards start flying at 12:00 and SMP is onsite to provide fresh updates throughout the day.
