In The End It Was All Daisuke
What started as 109 players on Day 2 of the 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Seoul Main Event has been whittled down to just two tables, with one of the 16 remaining players set to be crowned champion this coming tomorrow. The player in the best position to take it all down is Daisuke Endo as he stormed his way to the head of the chip counts with 650,000.
Endo couldn’t put a foot wrong late into Saturday evening. The biggest hand for Endo came when he took down a three-way all in holding 
against 
and 
.
For only 16 to remain there had to be a lot of casualties throughout the day and it really didn’t take long for the players to start hitting the rail on Day 2. Some of those players who weren’t able to weave their way through the day included Ben McLean, Andrew Scott, Julian Hasse, Sparrow Cheung and Michael Mariakis.
Also never managing any momentum was the last remaining Team PokerStars Pro, Celina Lin. Playing with a short stack for much of the early part of the day, Lin eventually moved her stack all in holding 
and ran into the 
of an opponent. No help came for Lin and she was sent out the door.
As play went into the evening stomachs started grumbling as the dinner break was looming. Before dinner was to be had though, the bubble needed to burst and that player ended up being Barry O’Callaghan
With the bubble burst a few more were eliminated with a KRW$5,000,000 min-cash before just 24 players went to a dinner break. With full stomachs and rested minds, the returning players were set to play down to just two tables.
Some of the players who exited just a short while after dinner included Darren Yoon in 21st place and Valeriy Chupin in 20th place. The last player eliminated before the chips were bagged up was Fakher Alizai in 17th place.
Also returning on Sunday with plenty of chips and a chance at taking down the KRW194,000,000 first place prize are Kenneth Wong (527,000), Vincent Rubianes (505,000) and Taewook Kwon (495,000).
