After the staggering US $3.4 million prize pool was announced earlier today we spoke to APPT President Danny McDonagh about the big increase compared to last year. In 2013 the ACOP Main Event had a field of 203 players and that record was smashed by this year's 291 players. The future is bright for poker in Macau and here's what McDonagh had to say.
Steve O’Dwyer opened the action for 2,800 and got called by Jason Mo to his left. Mustapha Kanit in the big blind made it 7,000 and after giving it some Zen contemplation O’Dwyer passed. Mo put out the calling chips. A flop of saw a bet of 9,000 from Kanit and a fold from Mo.
The fold prompted the talkative Kanit to ask Mo, “Why did you call?”
“I wanted to see a flop.”
“There’s no good flops for you.
“There’s a lot of good flops for me.” Mo insisted.
Kanit replied that he was more interested in busting O’Dwyer anyway.

World Series of Poker Main Event champions Greg Merson and Jonathan Duhamel have recently been eliminated from play. Merson was short-stacked for most of the day and was unable to gain momentum as play progressed. We came upon Duhamel's table in time to see him move all in for roughly 20,000 on a board of .
Duhamel's opponent instantly called, prompting the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion to roll over for a spade flush. Duhamel's opponent had that beat, however, with for a full house of deuces full of treys.
"Yeah that wins," remarked Duhamel as he stood from the table.

Sorel Mizzi has perhaps the biggest stack in the tournament at the moment and he certainly has at has table by a long way.
Mizzi has been opening a decent amount of pots and in a recent hand when it was folded to him on the button he raised and the big bind complained jokingly, “Don’t bully us.” Mizzi took the pot uncontested and showed pleading he only ever did it with legitimate hands. The table didn’t look convinced.
