Macau, China, June 19, 2017 – From 75 players down to the final 20!

Day 2 of the APT Main Event wrapped up with Malaysia’s Choong Kian Weng simply in a league of his own. Weng bagged up an enormous stack of 852,000 with no one even coming close to his thundering arsenal.

Main Event Day 2 Chip Leader, Choong Kian Weng

At the start of Day 2, the three players on top of the charts were Weng, Yang Song, and Peng Fei Liu. Out of the three, it was Song who first distanced himself from the pack, winning multiple pots very early with his aggressive style. But his domination wasn’t meant to be. He ran into a cooler against Saul Oliver Fortea with A♦ A♣ overK♦ K♠ to send his stack plummeting. Despite his efforts, he was unable to recover and bowed out in the middle of the day.
