Now That's a Bad Beat
"Just got bad-beated there...moved to Lee Nelson's right!" laughed Bianco.

Count 'em Down
No More Sherif In This Town
The flop came down ace-high with two spades and the big blind checked to Derias who fired 4,000. The big blind then moved all in and Derias made the call.
Derias held the lead with his for top pair but the big blind flipped for the flush draw. Another spade fell on the turn to complete the flush and send Derias to the exit.
Shaun Deeb Doesn't Make Day 2
Deeb:
Copeland:
"Nice slowroll," said Deeb when he saw Copeland's hand. He added that he hoped to suck out on Copeland, but it wasn't to be when the board came . Deeb is out, and Copeland goes to Day 2 with about 53,000 chips.
Day 1c Concludes
There were plenty of big name players in the field although JC Tran, Tony Hachem, Shawn Buchanan, John Phan, Hevad Khan, Jozef Berec and Steve Sung will all have to make the trip to Korea for the next APPT event as their hopes for APPT glory ended during today's action.
Amongst the 86 survivors today, Joe Hachem, JJ Liu and Isabelle Mercier have all made it through but will enter day two with short stacks, while Terrence Chan, David Chiu, Emad Tahtouh, Lee Nelson and Men "The Master" Nguyen will all be in good shape tomorrow.
Ireland's Mark Walsh emerged late in the day to take a likely chip lead from today's flight with close to 100,000 chips when the bags were tagged. We'll have the updated chip counts for you of all the survivors shortly.
Today's players will join the 45 from Day 1a and the 77 from Day 1b, as the final 208 players all come together for the first time to play another seven levels tomorrow. Play will recommence at 1:30 p.m. local time tomorrow and we look forward to your company at PokerNews.com for our live coverage from the tournament floor. See you then!
