The tournament director just gave the message to the dealers and play has started.
Rex Clinkscales was in the field yesterday for Day 1a, but failed to find a bag after getting rivered out of the tournament. After getting in against the of an opponent on a board, the turn was a brick but the river gave his opponent two pair, eliminating Clinkscales.
He's now back in the fray for Day 1b with a fresh stack of 30,000. He is hoping to add another APPT Manila title to the Kickoff title he won at last year's festival, as well as the Manila Megastack title he won back in March.
He started his day fairly aggressive, by winning a pot preflop with a five-bet. A player opened to 300 from under-the-gun, he three-bet to 1,000 chips from the very next position, and everybody folded back to the initial raiser, who proceed with a four-bet for 2,000 chips. Clinkscales wasn't done, as he continued with a five-bet for 5,800, that earned him the pot after his opponent's fold.

The fell on the turn, and Talamayan bet 1,500 this time, after his opponent's check, who raised this time to 3,500. Talamayan looked like he had a tough decision to make, and he thought about it for almost 3 minutes before another player on the table called the clock.
The floor manager started counting and Talamayan asked his opponent if he has a set. He didn't get a response, and folded his hand saying that he had aces. He only showed the though.
