27 Cashes, 3 Crashes: Gatsko Leads Main Event Day 3 in Cebu

Day 2 of the APT Asian Poker Series Cebu 2015 Main Event finished with 30 players still alive and towed by Russian Alexey Gatsko, who had a huge haul of 573,500 in chips to become the chip leader in Day 3 set today, Wednesday at 1:00 PM. Action is expected to be tense– early and often– at the All In Poker Sports Club in Waterfront Hotel & Casino in Cebu City, Philippines as only 27 places will be paid in this event— which means bubble time is around the corner and three players will go home empty-handed in the early levels of the day.

The champion of the main event will earn PHP 2,307,300, the lion’s share for the total prize pool of PHP 9,236,300 created by 207 entries from three starting days. The lowest ITM player will net about double the buy-in.
