Welcome to Day 2 of The PokerStars.net APPT Macau Main Event!
Welcome back to the beautiful City of Dreams and The PokerStars LIVE Poker Room. After two starting days, 206 players will be returning today in the hopes of claiming the prestigious APPT Trophy and first-place prize of HKD $2,776,000 (about USD $360,000). It is day 1a chipleader, Bo “Box” Xie that has the biggest stack of the combined field with 166,000.
With only 13 of the 206 players with over 100,000 chips and three more days until we crown a champion, it is anyone’s tournament to win … or lose. Poker in Macau is known for its action and we anticipate plenty of that today, as everyone will be focused on building their stack to position themselves for a deep run.
Building stacks won’t be easy because there is some stiff competition in the field which includes the likes of day 1b chip leader and Macau high-stakes cash game player, Peter Chan (141,000), former ANZPT Champion Michael Kanaan (54,000), and Team PokerStars Pros Bryan Huang (31,300), Raymond Wu (28,800) and Celina Lin (25,900).
One person who will be back for Day 2 with a lot of work to do is WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic Champion J.J. Liu (10,200). Liu was able to double up several times towards the end of the evening to barely stay alive. She is sitting near the bottom of chip counts but anyone who counts her out would be making a big mistake.
Play begins at 3 p.m. local time and we have been told to expect 7 1/2 levels. With each level lasting 60 minutes, play is scheduled to end around 11 p.m. local time. Don’t go far, we will be bringing you all the action as it happens beginning in just over an hour. See you then!

to give Wong the victory. Li was sent home early in today's proceedings.

Yogo An Early Casualty
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We saw a big pot brewing on table 14 and happened upon the all in button in front of Nick Wong and the board showing 
. It was Iori Yogo, however, who was contemplating a decision for his tournament life. He eventually made the call and Wong immediately turned over 
. Yogo didn't show as he slid his cards into the muck and left the tournament wishing players good luck.

Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The action started with Justin Marsh opening to 2,500 from middle position and finding a call from Antonio Martins in the hijack.
The flop came down 
and Marsh threw out a continuation bet of 2,700 which was called. The fell on the turn, and Marsh reached down to his chips and bet out another 5,800 which again was called.
The 
completed the board, and Marsh bet out 8,400 almost instantly. Martins thought for a moment, before raising it up to 22,500. Marsh snap called, but threw his cards into the muck in disgust when Martins rolled over his 
for a rivered flush.

Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang raised to 2,300 from early position and was called by Kevin Clark in middle position and Wei Zhang on the button. Boyat Manish three-bet to 7,400. Huang moves all in for 30,000 and only Manish made the call. Huang held 
and Manish showed 
. Huang couldn't find any help on the board and hit the rail half-way through the first level.

"I Told You You'd Crack Aces!"
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We arrived at the table just as Kenny Shih was betting out 2,500 from under the gun plus one. The action folded around to Anyang Xu on the button, who decided to move all in for around 70,000 in chips.
With the decision falling back on Shih, he contemplated whether to commit his last 16,400 into the pot.
"He has aces. It's your chance to crack aces," joked Nick Wong, observing the hand.
Shih finally made the call after a minute, and the cards were tabled.
Shih: 
Xu:
The board ran out 
to award Shih with the unlikeliest of victories.
"I told you you'd crack aces," said Wong, who's prediction had been correct.
