Julian Hasse - Warm-Up Event, Day 1c Chip LeaderWhat a big day it was at the APPT 9 Manila with 275 entries closing out the last of the day 1 flights for side event #1, the Warm-up event PHP3M guarantee. At the end of tournament play, many players fell leaving only 49 gunners qualifying into day 2. The man at the top of the rung today was poker pro Julian Hasse from Germany with 139,600 chips. In addtition to winning many mid-ranged pots, Hasse landed some premium hands in prime positions and made sure to capitalize on them. He will be returning to the field for day 2 as the second overall in chips behind day 1b chip leader Ayhan Agdas (UK) with 156,800 chips.

The day was very exciting with lots of players in arriving early, ready to accumulate chips while blinds were low. Several well-known poker pros were amongst those scattered throughout the room. Carlos Chang (Taiwan) was initially seated next to Team PokerStars Pro Asia Bryan Diwei Huang (Singapore). Judging by their chips, they didn’t get as much action until their table broke and both players were placed in separate tables. Unfortunately for Huang, he had to bow out early while Chang lasted much longer gaining more ammunition when he doubled up against Eric Sia.

Sam Razavi (England) was also in the field but was denied any progress at the felt along with other notables such as Victor Chong (Malaysia), and local poker pros Florencio Campomanes, Mark Benasa, and Wally Sombero. They all eventually fell.

Among those who qualified were players Christopher Luke Pangan (Philippines) and Seok Chan Hwang (South Korea) both of whom built up a very healthy stack early in the day and maintained it well until bagging. At one point, Pangan had well over six-digits (and most likely held the chip lead then) but after taking a couple of hits to his stack and getting moved to a new table during the last level, he trimmed down his aggro pace to end the day with 82,800 chips. Hwang, on the other, was more of a silent killer, chipping up slowly and grinding throughout the day until he amassed 102,500 by the end of the night. These are two players surely to keep an eye on as their styles vary greatly and they clearly know how to manage their chips quite well.

Another tough player at the felt is Johnjin Kim (Korea) who ended his day with 93,800 chips. Kim had a slow rise but once he accumulated enough chips to dominate the table, his stack continued to climb, winning many pots without a showdown. Alex Lee (Malaysia) had a similar strategy. He too had a late bump up to his stack but afterwards, he took stabs at many pots to end the day with 107,800 chips.

And then there’s Brian McAllister (Australia) who expressed having unfortunate luck with good cards. Early in the day McAllister told the story of him busting out with pocket queens that landed a set but his opponent had a set as well… of kings. McAllister ended up re-entering a total of four times and qualified into day 2 with a low but very playable stack of 36,400.

Day 2 will begin tomorrow at 2pm with a total of 97 players returning for a battle to the finish. Congratulations to the qualifiers and see you tomorrow!
