Day 1a of PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour kicked off yesterday. 105 players came to start, and after seven one-hour levels of poker, 50 of them had made it through to Day 2 of the tournament. In the lead of the tournament is Terry Fan with 140,000 chips. Terry doubled-up at the early stages of the tournament and used his big stack very well as he remained in the top throughout the day.

this tour is pretty interesting as there are not so many familiar names, and lots of the big names we even don't know. Good prize pool for 108 players.

The APPT Cebu is a live tournament, most players are qualifiers fro Pokerstars freerolls and buy-ins.I got two friends playing there right now,the first one got busted and the other one made it to Day 2.
They are far away from the number of players of WSOP but I'm sure this tournament will grow up quickly. Also because prize pool begin to be interesting Ibarra, good luck to your friend

By my coment you will only understand that i rarely play poker on real tourneys: one-hour levels? Oh boy, thats a lot of time. On one side, look like its enough to prepare the strategy and study other players, but for unexperienced players can get really tough and start to boring, till the time of the decision of going all in and get against some quiet guy on the other side of the table who says call with a much bigger pair in the hand, comparing to ours, which going to make us go home sooner than expected (ok, so i just told my worst real tourney experience; i was new on it and it run real bad). Perhaps things change in our mind when we know we are playing for a prize pool of $600,000.
