Hand #1 of Final Table and we already have a raising action between the big stacks.
From the button, Sekiya Yosuke made it 32,000 but saw Nam Le from the big blind re-pop it to 72,000.
No problem says Yosuke who three-bet to 55,000 more… Le actually insta-folds and was probably just testing Yosuke’s early resolve.
Le still has around 1.1 million in chips and Yosuke climbs to 730,000.
The atmosphere here at the Resorts World Manila is one of a battle field.
For sure, WAR IS ON for our elite eight. The winner today becomes and APT champion and gets $124,000 in cold hard cash.
Tournament director Lloyd Fontillas about to call out the players one-by-one starting about now…

The tournament officials have already set up everything– chips included– here at the Resorts World Manila and we are just waiting for the players to arrive. We have actually seen a few of them like Anthony Gabitan and Homan Houshiar– probably talking about short stack strategy plus Miller Zhang with a bunch of Chinese supporters.
Cards in the air in a few!
