Finally, after three days of poker, we've reached Day 2 of the 2009 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Macau Main Event. Three separate Day 1 flights produced a total of 429 runners. 196 return today to play another eight levels of poker.

The three different days produced a wide disparity of chip counts. On Day 1a, only one player, Brandon Demes, edged over the 100,000-chip mark. Two players managed that feat on Day 1c. Yet on Day 1b there were five -- led by young Norwegian Kristoffer Myhre's 183,400.

We expect that the eight levels today will reduce the field to about 45, just inside the money. If it reaches the end of the eighth level before he bubble bursts you can be sure the tournament organizers will opt to play to the money rather than ask players to return tomorrow on the bubble.

Play is set to kick off in about thirty minutes.
