Two Days Down, Two Days to Go

What a day we witnessed here in the Grand Lisboa poker room. It was Day 2 of the 2009 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Macau Main Event. 196 players showed up ready to move, shake and do whatever was necessary to make it to the Promised Land -- inside the money.

It was a rough day for Team PokerStars, with only one of the nine pros in the field making it into the money. That one player, Daniel Schreiber, will come back tomorrow with a roughly average chip stack. His compatriots -- Grant Levy, Celina Lin, Eric Assadourian, Joe and Tony Hachem, Bertrand Grospellier, Jonathan Lin and Raymonw Wu -- were left to wonder what might have been after crashing out of the tournament short of the money.

Thanks to an elimination at the end of the night, Kyle Cheong went charging past a half million in chips and will bring back the most chips tomorrow for Day 3. That's the day that will determine which of the remaining eight players will be vying for the more than HK$4 million that will be awarded to the winner of the tournament on Sunday.

Don't forget that tomorrow also marks Day 1 of the HK$88,000 High Rollers event. PokerNews will have continuing coverage of both tournaments starting at 12:15pm local time.

Until then, you can find us at the bar.
