Erin McNaught tunes-up for the APPT Macau High Roller final table.

2pm: Players are completing their TV interviews, and there’s a real buzz around the TV final table studio ahead of the final day in the PokerStars.net APPT High Roller event.

What a line-up, with two WSOP bracelet winners (dual main event winner Johnny Chan and Quinn Do), a WPT champion (Nam Le), four players who’ve featured at APPT final tables over the past two years (Charles Chua, PokerStars Sponsored players Ivan Tan and Van Marcus, plus David Steicke, who finished third in this event last year), a rising star of the game (Will Ma) and a genuine High Roller, who’s changed his focus from black jack to poker (Andrew Scott).

After last night’s marathon battle to decide the final table line-up, it was PokerStars Sponsored player Eric Assadourian who was the unlucky one to miss out. But the four-hour stint to eliminate the final player has left several players dangerously low on chips including Tan, Chan, Chua and Marcus.

Can Steicke hold off the world-class field to go further than last year? It promises to be an enthralling day as we conclude the nine-day carnival of poker that has been the 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Macau.
