Day 2 of the PokerStars.net APPT Season 8 Manila main event will begin in less than an hour with 95 players still vying for the coveted crown.
A total of PHP 3,472,000 awaits the winner in this one, but the first hurdle to cross today will be the 28 person money bubble.
Leading the pack into the hunt is Day 1b chip leader Seung Soo Jeon, the only player to cross the 200,000-chip threshold thus far.
But a pack of hungry rounders lay in wait within striking distance, including Day 1a chip leader Daniel Belov, Ronald Singson, Elan Zak, Thanh Ha Duong, Rajeev Kanjani, Anyang Xu and Mike Takayama - all above the 100,000-chip mark.
Flying the Team PokerStars flag today will be Celina Lin, who comes in relatively short stacked but determined to make her mark here in the Philippines. Plus, the winner the last time the APPT was in the Philippines, Season 7 APPT Cebu champ Jaekyung 'Simba' Sim is still in defending his title.
Play begins at 1 p.m. local time Sunday and the PokerNews Live Reporting team is on site to bring you all the action as the players vie for spots at Monday's PokerStars.net APPT Season 8 Manila main event final table.
