Day 1c Coming Up
It's about that time. Day 1c is coming up shortly and it promises to be the most exciting of the three starting days by a long shot. Take the Hachem brothers, Joe and Tony, add a little bit of Chris Moneymaker, top it with some Lee Nelson and Bryan Huang and you've got yourself a delightful recipe. All of them are Team PokerStars Pros and all of them will be in action today.
Day 1a got 75 players and Day 1b added another 68. That gives the 2010 PokerStars.net APPT Sydney Grand Final Main Event a total 143 players thus far. It's just about an hour away from the start of play today and there's already 88 players signed up, making it the largest day even before play has begun. By the time registration closes, four hours into play, there should be about 150 runners today, pushing the grand total around the 300-player mark.
Daniel Neilson ended Day 1b with 164,100 and surpassed Manuel Hansimikali from Day 1a, who bagged up 136,600. There will be more chips in play today, meaning more for the taking. Our very own Lynn Gilmartin has the recap from yesterday and we'll let her tell you all about it. Watching her talk is much more of a pleasant site than reading text anyway.
Day 1c kicks off at 12:30 p.m. local time and you can catch all the action right here on PokerNews!
