For those ready to jump in early, there is extra value waiting in the opening flights. Players who register and are seated before the end of Level 1 in Flights A or B will receive 100% rakeback, adding another incentive to get your PSC Main Event campaign started from the opening bell.

A Brief Glance Back

The crown has changed hands three times, and each champion has walked away with more than NT$3 million in winnings. Kuan-Yu Chien was the first to claim the title, Wang Shunping followed at PSC II, topping the record setting edition's 897 entries, then Kim Kiyoung joined the list at PSC III.

With the fourth edition now at hand, another large turnout is expected. Ready or not, it's time for players to put their skills to the test and see who has what it takes to claim the crown.

Players to Watch

With none of the three former champions in the field just yet, the door is wide open for a new name to join the PSC Main Event honor roll. Among those to watch are three players carrying plenty of form into the title race.

Wong Tung-Wing has been a regular presence on the podium at PSC IV. He won the High Roller Megastack, followed with a runner-up finish in the Natural8 Open Super High Roller, then took 3rd place in the Superstar Challenge.

Ma Kuo-Kai already knows what it takes to go deep in this event, having finished 7th in the PSC Main Event at the previous edition. He has continued to deliver at PSC IV, reaching two final tables along with an 11th place finish in the PS National Cup.

Then there is Park Daeyoung, who is on a heater. Just before PSC IV, Park outlasted a field 9,000+ entries at the TMT Main Event, then carried that momentum into the festival with a 5th place finish in the PS National Cup. With a major title and another deep run already under his belt, Park will be another contender to keep an eye on.

Those are just three names in what promises to be a deep field. The race begins today.

See you at the tables!
