This is it folks, the final day of the 2011 PokerStars.net APPT Macau Main Event!
Only 15 players remain and it is India's Sangeeth Mohan who leads the way. Following Mohan is Kai Yat Fam, while some prominent names who will be hitting the felt are Team PokerStars Pro Randy Lew and David Steicke.
Lew and Steicke will arguably bring the most experience to the table, but there are still plenty of other players who will be right up there with a chance.
Jeff Rossiter from Australia knows what it takes to go deep in a tournament, finishing 3rd at this year's Aussie Millions, while Daoxing Chen knows what it takes to go deep in this very tournament, having finished 3rd here in Macau a couple of years ago.
