Welcome to Day 1b of the 2013 APPT Macau for the Asia Championship of Poker

Yesterday, the 2013 APPT Macau for the Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$100,000 (approximately $12,900) Main Event kicked off at the PokerStars Live at the City of Dreams and attracted 93 players. Today on Day 1b, even more players are expect to take their shot at the guaranteed HK$20,000,000 (approximately $2.58 million) prize pool.

Among those expected to be in action today are Team Online's Randy "nanonoko" Lew; European Poker Tour Barcelona champ Tom "hitthehole" Middleton; EPT champ David Vamplew; and the dangerous Kitty Kuo.

Who will join Day 1a chip leader Keith Ferrera; Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Jonathan Karamalikis (49,150); and Team PokerStars Pros Eugene Katchalov (49,325), Naoya Kihara (38,875), Vivian Im (36,900) and Bryan Huang (23,500) — all of who survived Day 1a — on Day 2? We'll find out over the course of four 90-minute levels of play.

Day 1b is set to kick off at 3:00 p.m. local time, which is just a couple hours from now. Be sure to check back then for all the latest and greatest from PokerStars Live at the City of Dreams in Macau.
