Daily Updates

The APPT One Million Challenge (Single Re-Entry) opened yesterday with six players high-rolling the PHP 1,000,000 (~US$ 17,100) buy-in to join. Players will be given a starting stack of 1,00,000 chips which will provide for a comfortable and lengthy marathon. In fact, yesterday's action only saw one bust out. Perhaps action was too slow, but the remaining 5 decided to take a pause to continue the action the next day in the hopes that more would register, which brings us to right now!

Action continues here at the Okada Manila with a total of 11 entries so far with 10 remaining to compete for a piece of the PHP 10,349,900 (~US$ 176,700) prize pool. Registration is still open until end of Level 12. Play will resume at Level 8 where blinds are 10,000/25,000 Ante 25,000.

The chip leader so far is Elias Gutierrez with 3,045,000, amassing that from making the single bust-out from yesterday. The situation might change soon with more players in the field.
