The Asia-Pacific Poker Tour has an ongoing stop in Manila at the moment and the all-important APPT Main Event kicked off a couple of days back, with a couple of days of starting flights being hosted. Yesterday, we reported the news of 12 Indians making it through to Day 2 from Day 1a.

Now we’re back with a roundup of Day 1b, where a total of 760 entries registered to the tournament and a total overall field of 1,364 entries was created, making it the biggest international field in the history of the Philippines. The prize pool was not doubled but more than tripled, with the PHP 20 million GTD being crushed and a new prize pool of PHP 65,492,460 million (~$1.2 million) generated.
