PPPoker World Cup
World Cup In Manila
Taking place February 15 through 21, 2019, the PPPoker World Cup will take place in Manila, Philippines, at the Resorts World Manila. Over the course of seven days, there will be a total of 16 events taking place at the resort, including the Main Event, with the guarantee of 20,000,000 PHP (around $380,000).
The Main Event
The Main Event features a buy-in of 55,000 PHP and there are three starting days (Day 1), on Saturday, February 16, Sunday, and Monday. All survivors from the initial three flights will meet for Day 2 taking place Tuesday, February 19. The play will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, culminating in the final table and crowning of the champion on Thursday, February 21.
All players will start with a stack of 30,000 chips and the first level of 50/100. All levels will last for 60 minutes, so there will be plenty of play in the PPWC Main Event. Antes will be kicking in fairly quick, though, at the start of Level 3, which is something to consider when planning your playing strategy.
Players are allowed to re-enter the Main Event but only buying into one of the next scheduled initial flights. So, if you’re eliminated during Day 1 on Saturday, you’re allowed to enter again on Sunday and/or Monday.

The buy-in for a team is 550,000 PHP, but there are nine players in each team, competing in three different game types over the course of the tournament. Points will be awarded according to the announced score board, while the games included in the Teams Event are:
