Lights, cameras...
We're back in the ballroom of the Dusit Thani Hotel in the Makati section of Manila for Day 1b of the 2009 Asian Poker Tour Philippines Main Event. 75 runners started in the field yesterday, with 19 making it through to Day 2.
We expect a significantly higher number of players in the field today. As of dinner last night, there were 125 confirmed Day 1b runners. Another ten were expected to satellite in by the end of the night, and of course there will be walk-up registrations at the last minute.
Players have queued up to draw their seats. Play starts in 15 minutes!
