With only 106 out of 755 entries through to the ITM stage, it’s crunch time for railbirds to secure their seats with the last two flights – Flight E and Flight F (Turbo) taking place on June 22, 2024. The guarantee is also expected to be breached, with a high chance of setting a new record.
Among those that will likely be be seen were recent flight fallouts Jae Chang (2024 Metro Summer Event champion), and Marco Almerez (2018 RVS Cup champion). Also yet to defend his title is reigning champion Oliver John Tapel.
Maintaining the top spot is Day 1A chip leader Ronald Dumandan who set the bar high with 539,000 bagged. Dumandan is trailed closely by Jasper David, and rounding out the top 3 is Day 1C chip leader Kim Michael Enriquez.
