With 14 players to start, Flight B of the National Cup Championship is now underway!

The APT Championship National Cup continues tonight with Flight B — the second of five total starting flights in the prestigious TWD 20 million guaranteed (~USD 613,500) event. While the opening flight is already underway at the Red Space venue, Flight B is set to begin at 8 p.m., giving those who prefer a turbo structure another opportunity to secure their place in the Final Day.

The TWD 16,000 buy-in (~USD 490) event starts players with a 40,000 starting stack, with Flight B featuring 15-minute levels throughout. Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 11 (~10:45 p.m.), giving players a limited window to enter or take another shot at building a stack.

There are still three more starting flights to come, with Flights C, D, and E scheduled across Saturday before the surviving players return for the Final Day on Sunday, November 15 at 11:15 a.m. Each starting flight will play down to 14% of the field, at which point everyone remaining will have secured a spot in the money and bag up for the Final Day.

With late registration now closed for Flight A, the National Cup is has already attracted 602 entrants and is shaping up to be one of the major early attractions of the APT Championship. Stay tuned as we bring you all the action, key hands, and latest chip counts from Flight B.
