The two starting flights at the Asian Poker Tour Finale 2015 Main Event are over and 71 players from a combined total of 169 entries will return today for Day 2 action at the Waterfront Manila Pavilion Casino Filipino.

India`s Kunal Patni and Paawan Bansal have both made it to Day 2 with the third Indian contender – Dhaval Mudgal hitting the rails on Day 1B yesterday. Patni who fired a second bullet on Day 1B after busting Day 1A, will start the day in 12th chip position with 76,850 in chips. Paawan Bansal the Battle of Nations Team Event champion is currently placed 45th in chips with a stack of 35,600.

Lithuania`s Arunas Sapitavicius is the overall chip leader going into Day 2 and the only player over the six-figure mark with a stack of 103,200 which he amassed on Day 1A. Trailing him is Day 1B chip leader Korea`s Jae Chui Chang with 99,800 chips. Also in the running is Japan`s Iori Yogo who is now a distant second to Sam Razavi on the APT Player of the Year race. Razavi has already cashed in three side events this series, including a 7th place finish in the No Limit Hold`em event last night but a deep run in the Main Event by Yogo can make the race tight.

Two other side event champions were crowned yesterday. A total of 54 players took to the felts in the No Limit Hold`em 1 and Korea`s Sim Jae Kyung came out on top after a heads-up deal with Japan`s Yu Kurita.
