Some of the big name players that bagged and tagged their chips were Team PokerStars Pros Gavin Griffin and Lee Nelson, and they will join the likes of Eric Assadourian, Mark Vos, Jamie Pickering, Andrew Scott, Sam Korman and Marlon Goonawardana for Day 2 on Friday.
The day truly belonged to well known Australian professional Jason Gray, who shot to the lead early and then captured the biggest pot of the tournament after his straight cracked the overpair of Nathanael Seet. From that point he never looked back, ending the day with around the 180,000 chip mark; well ahead of his nearest rival. We'll have the updated chip counts of the entire field for you as soon as they come to hand.
We'll be back tomorrow to do it all again as the largest Day 1 field of the tournament is expected to hit the felt to boost the total number of entrants for the 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final to close to the 500 player mark. We hope you'll join us once again with the cards in the air at 12:30pm local time. See you then!
