Day 1b Set To Begin
The 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event is just about ready to go for Day 1b of action. Yesterday, Day 1a attracted a packed house of 129 runners with 56 of them making it through to Day 2.
At the end of the day, Christopher Park topped the field with 119,800 and has set the benchmark for the second group of players to shoot for. Also advancing from Day 1a were reigning Aussie Millions Main Event champion Oliver Speidel, Michael Gizzardi and Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin.
Here on Day 1a, some of those expected to be in action include Team PokerStars' Raymond Wu, Bryan Huang and Angel Guillen. Guillen is a Mexican Team Pro and making his first trip to an APPT event. He's second on the all-time money list for Mexico and will be looking to add to his results with a deep run here in Seoul.
Another jam-packed room is expected for today as play kicks off at 12:15 PM local time. Things will be underway shortly and PokerNews will be on hand to provide all updates from the floor. Stay tuned!

Scott Takes It Off Angel
We came to Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen’s table with a flop showing 
and Guillen in the hand against Andrew Scott.
Scott was first to act and he opted to check. This prompted Guillen to bet 550, at which point Scott check-raised to 1,250. Guillen flicked his cards into the muck and Scott took down the pot.

From middle position, Sarah Lee limped in. A player behind her limped and then action folded to the small blind who completed the bet. The big blind raised to 500 and only Lee called.
The flop came down 
and the big blind fired 600. Lee gave it up.
Scott Can't Bluff His Way To This One
After a player folded and exposed 
offsuit, Andrew Scott raised to 300 from the hijack seat. The button called, the small blind called and the big blind called.
The flop came down 
and action checked to Scott. He bet 600 and play folded back over to the big blind, who put in a min-raise to 1,200. Scott flatted.
The turn was the and the big blind bet 1,850. Scott called to see the 
land on the river. After the big blind checked, Scott bet 2,875. The big blind called and immediately, Scott mucked his hand. The big blind didn't have to show and let the dealer take his hand without having to reveal it.

Day 1b's Food Plan
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
After dealing with some grumpy, hungry players yesterday, the tournament staff has jumped right on top of things for today with the food issue. It was just announced that during the first break, chicken sandwiches will be available to everyone in the tournament area. After that, ham and egg sandwiches will be provided around the second break and then for the third break, pizza will be delivered.
Kudos to the APPT tournament staff for getting right on top of things in regards to keeping the players happy, and their bellies fed.
