It didn't take as long as some were expecting. After roughly eight and a half hours of play on Day 2, the 69 hopefuls that started the day have been pared down to nine. We lost a number of the notables along the way. 2008 APT Philippines champion David Saab made an early exit. So did Chino Rheem.

The other two Poker Packers in the field, Nam Le and Steve Sung, went out 12th and 13th respectively, just short of the final table.
Michael Pedley was going for his third Asian Poker Tour final table, but he came up just short, finishing in tenth place. None of them were able to make it to the final nine. When those nine return tomorrow, they'll find themselves arrayed as follows:

Seat 1: Ron Kluber - USA (310,000)
Seat 2: Cicurel Didier - Switzerland (182,000)
Seat 3: Steven Yea - Korea (754,000)
Seat 4: Vesa Leikos - Finland (94,000)
Seat 5: Neil Arce - Philippines (377,000)
Seat 6: Kim Tae Hyung - Korea (168,000)
Seat 7: Susumu Toge - Japan (102,000)
Seat 8: Liz Lieu - USA (144,000)
Seat 9: Casey Kastle - Slovenia (503,000)

Play kicks off at noon local time. All runners will be chasing Steve Yea, the 2008 APT Macau runner-up. We'll have a champion by the end of the night. See you then.
