Action picked up at the Metro Card Club with 101 turning up for Day 1B of the Asia Poker Championship Php 20M guaranteed. Among those that chose to enter this heat were well known Filipino players Czardy Rivera, Vamerdino Magsakay, recently crowned APPT Open Manila National NLH champion Alvir Inocentes, and WSOP bracelet champion Mike Takayama. While all four got through the scheduled 12 rounds with very healthy stacks, bagging up the largest arsenal was Korea’s Taejin Choi of 95 BB. This put Choi in second rank overall, just behind Day 1A chip leader Changhwan Lee who holds firm with 105 BB. The event has now drawn 137 entries across two starting days with 36 advancing to Day 2.
