Welcome back to the beautiful Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa for Day 1b of the penultimate stop of season four of the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) live from Cebu, Philippines!
Yesterday saw a small, but highly determined, field take to the felt with half the players being sentenced to the poolside deck chairs for the remainder of their stay - but we highly doubt they are complaining!
For those that spent the last few days relaxing on the white sandy beaches, swimming with the abundant array of marine life or taking to the city for some shopping - it is now down to some serious business with a bumper Day 1b field expected.
Team PokerStars Pros Joe and Tony Hachem, Celina Lin, Bryan Huang and Raymond Wu, along with high-stakes cash game player Van Marcus, tournament veterans Leo Boxell and Graeme Putt are just a few of those expected to make up the 150-player plus field.
Although the 319 players that formed the PHP$29,086,420 prizepool may not be breached here in 2010, the calibre of players in Cebu definitely outweigh any tournament that the Philippines has seen!
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be again on the floor to provide the exclusive live coverage from the APPT Cebu Main Event – so make sure that you are glued to the screen to find out who will be crowned the fourth champion of season four from 1:00 pm PHT!
