The Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau 2010 continued earlier today with Day 3 of the Main Event where 18 players began play all hoping to get a seat in tomorrow’s Final Table.
Within three hours of constant poker action, the list was dwindled down to the last eight who remains in contention for the Main Event title.
