Rewind the clock, re-stack the chips and get ready to do things all over again -- it's Day 1b at the 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final. Yesterday's Day 1a saw a somewhat light turnout, as 108 runners turned up to try to become the next winner on the APPT circuit. 46 of them made it through to Day 2, with Phil Willcocks setting the pace at 129,000 chips.
The ranks should be significantly deeper today. As of 8pm yesterday, 140 players were registered for Day 1b and more are expected to register this morning. We're also likely to see the 2007 APPT Sydney Grand Final Champion, Grant Levy, take a seat at the tables today to begin the defense of his title.
Play kicks off at 12:30pm local time, in about 35 minutes. See you then.
