He will begin the second day of competition with 119,800 chips in hand. Note that other 55 players were qualified for the Day 2 which include Fakher Alizai holder of the second largest stack, Barry O'Callaghan, Michael Guzzardi, and also the Aussie Millions champion Oliver Speidel who did an excellent course at this first qualifying day. He is currently in the 7 th place with 74,400 chips.
As usual, during a poker tournament, some participants must leave the event. During this Day 1A of the APPT Seoul, well-known players like Terrence Chan, Grant Levy, Jesse McKenzie and Darren Judges were among the eliminated. Note that a little problem in terms of catering almost trouble the tournament. Indeed, there were no retaurant close to the casino. The players expressed their displeasure to the organizers who quickly order pizza, burgers or sandwiches in order to remedy the problem.
