Final Flights To Okada Millions Runs Today

The PokerStars LIVE Okada Manila Millions resumes today, Saturday, April 12 with the final three entry flights to the flagship Okada Millions under the spotlight. The event has already surpassed its initial offering of PHP 5 Million with a cumulative 858 across the first four flights. How high will the pot go? That figure will be determined sometime later tonight. Buy in is just PHP 8,000 (~US$ 140) with registration closing at the start of Level 11 for each flight.


Up first is Flight E which kicks off at 12pm with registration closing at approximately 4:30pm. Blinds escalate at a 25 minute pace. Based on the previous flights, this should run about 8.5 hours.


Flight F gets underway at 5pm with blinds increasing every 20 minutes. Players have until 8:40pm to sign up. If you miss that window or fall short at the other flights, then the last chance to secure a spot in the money round is via Flight G which gets rolling at 9pm with registration closing at 11:40pm. This is the fastest running flight with blinds rising every 15 minutes.


To start, all players will begin with 25,000 which is 250 times the opening 100-100 ante 100 blinds. If you start the day by the first buzzer, that means plenty of room to chip up and choose your spots. The player to catch is Flight A leader Christian Lortie Cloutier with 700,000 in chips.
