Ivan Zalac Starts Day 2 on Top
Welcome back to another day in paradise! We are coming to you live from the Philippines for Day 2 of the Pokerstars.net APPT Cebu here at the Waterfront Casino and Hotel!
Over the past two days, 158 players have walked into this casino and plopped down the 100,000 Philippine Peso buy-in for this event. After six levels of play on each day, we are down to just 76 players. Leading the way is Ivan Zalac, who ended Day 1a with 109,100. Following him is Khac Tran (105,900), Sotirios Koutopas (101,800), and the Day 1b chip leader Milan Gurung (99,900).
We also have a handful of notables who will be joining us for Day 2 today. This list includes Choi Young Su (88,700), Chane Kampanatsanyakorn (64,400), Sam Razavi (42,200), Jim Collopy (38,700), and Bryan Huang (19,800), who is the lone Team Pokerstars Pro still alive.
The players will be taking their seats soon, and the cards will be in the air at 12:15 local time. The plan is to play six more levels today, but the staff has said that they will play it by ear if the eliminations come faster or slower than expected. We here at Pokernews will be bringing you the updates all day, so don’t go anywhere!

Zalac Staying Aggressive
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Ivan Zalac built up the chip lead on Day 1a by playing a ton of pots, and he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down today. His table has played five hands so far, and Zalac has been involved in everyone of them.
In one of the latest hands, we saw Zalac open the action with a raise to 2,100. The only caller was Vince Lazaruk in the big blind, and they saw a flop of 
. Both players checked, and the turn brought the 
. Lazaruk checked called a 2,100 bet from Zalac, and when the river brought the 
, Lazaruk led for 6,000.
Zalac counted out the chips for the call, and tossed them in. Lazaruk tabled 
for a rivered flush, and Zalac mucked his hand while shaking his head. On the very next hand, Zalac raised to 2,100 from under the gun, and he was three bet by Christian Friedrich to 4,400. Zalac asked for a count, and when he got it, he stuck in the rest of his yellow T5,000 chips, setting Fredrich all in. He simply chuckled before quickly giving up his hand, and Zalac got some of his chips back.

Kampanatsanyakorn Makes the Call
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
The hand started with Chane Kampanatsanyakorn limping into the pot from under the gun before Lingling Teng raised to 1,900 from the hijack. Kampanatsanyakorn made the call as both players saw the flop come 
. A quick check from both would see the 
fall on the turn as Kampanatsanyakorn bet out 2,500. He was met with a quick raise to 6,000 which he called as the 
completed the board. Again Kampanatsanyakorn checked as Teng threw out 7,000 in chips.
A minute passed as Kampanatsanyakorn counted his entire stack before making the call. Teng tabled 
for a pair of fives, before Kampanatsanyakorn showed his 
for a pair of queens.
A good start for Kampanatsanyakorn, who moves up to 77,000 in chips as Teng drops down to 28,000.

Huang Needles Gurung
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
We arrived at the table after all the action had finished, but here's what we saw when we got there. The flop had come down 
, and Team PokerStars pro Bryan Huang had check raised all in for 11,000 total after Milan Gurung bet 2,200. Gurung thought for about 45 seconds before kicking his hand in, and Huang showed one card: 
. After seeing that, Gurung playfully asked "can I have my hand back please?"
Despite winning that hand, Huang is down a bit on the day, sitting in 17,000.
