The biggest field of the tournament is definitely going to play tomorrow at the PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final Day 1c. And they will be trying to get into the pack of 68 players who survived day 1B (out of 109 starters). At the moment the total field is 190, and 119 have already advanced to day two.

When the lights were switched off at the tournament room. Veteran Leo Boxell, 2000 Australasian Poker champion, was at the top of the hill with 147.700 on chips. Tom Grigg is on the pursuit with 141.500. Near enough we find a couple of local players: Joel Cohen (137,700) and Stewart Davidson (121,700).

The cards are now on the air on Day 1c at the PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final. Many good names are in the field, included Joe Hachem, WSOP 2005 champion and Grand Final, APPT winner back on 2007.

So, we expect a new dosis of extreme poker on the felt at the third day three of the event. Tomorrow is going to start the real thing.

Until then… have fun.
