Let's Go!
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
"Okay, let's go!" is what the tournament director just said after announcing the shuffle up and deal. Day 2 is now officially underway and we're going to jump right into the action!
Jin Fumbles His Chips
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
We caught the action in a blind battle between Annica Ivert and Yonh Zhi Jin on the turn when the board read 
. Ivert bet 8,300 from the small blind and Jin tanked for quite a while before making the call.
On the river the 
hit and this time Ivert opted to check.
Jin started to put together a bet, at least that's what it seemed like, before fumbling the chips back into his stack. Chips were now scattered and with shaking hands Jin tried to put his stack back together. All of this easily took 90 seconds and Sam Razavi could not hide his frustration, as the player could've easily announced a bet or put some chips forward.
The fumbling went on for another minute before, out of nowhere, he decided to check. Ivert sheepishly turned over 
for bottom pair and Jin showed his 
for three of a kind to take down this pot.

Today's Plan
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
APPT President Danny McDonagh just announced today's plan after explaining to the remaining players what the breaking order looks like. We're playing no more and no less than eight levels today and that means we'll finish around 8:30 p.m. local time again.
McDonagh also stated that it's likely there will still be three, perhaps two, tables remaining at the end of the night. The third and final day therefor could be a little longer than usual, but players will surely be energized and filled with adrenaline when playing for the millions of Won on Sunday night!
Yu Aggressive Early
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
We observed Winfred Yu pushing all his chips in the middle a few times without any callers. So we took notice when he chose to reraise the 2,400 bet from Daniel Belov preflop. Belov called 2,400 more for the privilege of seeing the flop which came 
.
Both players checked the flop and the 
turn was dealt. Belov checked to Yu who bet 7,300. Belov then raised enough to put Yu all in and Yu snap-called. The hands were table showing Belov turned a set with his 
but Yu, holding 
, flopped his.
The river came 
which awarded Yu the pot and left Belov pretty short.

Early Double Up For Wakeman
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Australian pro Matt Wakeman just managed to find himself a quick double up to put him close to the current average. Wakeman got all his chips into the pot before the flop holding 
and he his hand held up against 
.
Wakeman's now a much stronger force with about 40 big blinds in front of him.

Chen's Chips Are Gone
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Just last month Hao Chen managed to win the Macau Millions Main Event for $70,867 but unfortunately he did not manage to continue his good run here today. Chen, one of the most physically imposing players in the field, ended up all in before the flop with 
and he was called by Minh Hau Nguyen's .
The board wasn't kind to Chen who hit the rail after the dealer put the river card out.
