Final Table Moved to 3:00 p.m. Local Time

Because of the late finish, the production crew has decided to push back the start of tomorrow's final table from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00, in order to give the players an extra hour of sleep.

The two biggest story lines of the day would have to be Team PokerStars Pro Emad Tahtouh's monstrous 2.5-1 chip lead over his closest opponent heading into the final table and Liz Lieu earning her second trip to a major event's final table in less than 72 hours.

Emad will unbag 343,500 worth of chips tomorrow afternoon to start the day, while David Paul Steicke, owner of the tournament's second largest stack, will bring 142,000 to the table.

Equally impressive is the fact that Liz Lieu is now two-for-two in Macau, having also reached the finale of the APPT Macau Main Event, which took place last night.

We hope you'll join us tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. local time for our continued coverage of the PokerStars.net APPT Macau $15,000 buy-in High Rollers Event as we play down from nine to one. Tomorrow's champion will receive $368,640 in prize money and a whole lot of bragging rights and the line-up promises to provide plenty of action.

Until then, from the tournament floor inside the Grand Waldo Hotel & Casino in Macau, good night and good luck!
