Day 1b of the 2009 Asian Poker Tour Philippines Main Event is over. 187 players started day, more than twice as many as were in the field yesterday. 50 ended the day still in their seats.

Nearly all of the well-known professionals that opted to play in this tournament were in the field today; not all did so well. David Steicke and Quinn Do were early departures, but many others fared reasonably well. Chino Rheem, Ivan Tan, Bryan Huang, David Saab, Liz Lieu and Andrew Scott will all return for Day 2.

Everyone who does return tomorrow will be chasing APT Macau runner-up Steven Yea. Yea crushed the field today, finishing with 122,700 chips in his stack. Quickly eyeballing the field, we didn't see anyone else who was even over 100,000. Yea has significantly more chips than the Day 1a leader, Neil Arce (85,800).

69 survivors are in the Day 2 field. 27 of them will make the money. Play kicks off at 12 noon local time. We'll see you then.
