Niko Koop
The German Niko Koop is the chip leader of the TWD 110,000 APT High Roller. After a slow start inside the Chinese Majong League, the registrations kept pouring in, ending at a total of 275 entries (192 unique), creating a total prize pool of TWD 26,136,000 (~$809,500). This means the guaranteed prize pool of TWD 11,000,000 was more than doubled! The winner of this event will be taking home TWD 5,244,000 (~$164,850).
Of the 61 players that made it to Day 2, four players bagged over 1 million chips. Closely following Koop, who ended the day with 1,185,000 chips, is the Brazilian Sebastian Iargo with 1,174,000. Iargo will be in great contention to surpass his current career-high cash of USD 6,335 which he achieved earlier this series in Event #21 Single Day High Roller - Mystery Bounty.

Tough Day For Kunal Patni
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Jonas
Kunal Patni
This was not Kunal Patni's day. He was struggling all day to build up a stack. Combine it with two coolers, there is not much he could have done to survive the day. After running his KK into AA and AK earlier today, he just busted in the last level of the day with A♥ K♦ against Zhan Guo's A♠ A♣.

China's Shu Leung Yau raised to 16,000 from middle position, and only his countrymate Mean-Feng Huang called from the big blind.
Both read a runout of 4♠ 9♦ 8♦ K♦ 3♦ and checked it through. Huang tabled Q♠ T♠ against the 7♥ 7♠ from Yau, meaning Yau scored the pot with his candy canes.

Jeremy Min To Live Another Day
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Jonas
Kon Tang opened from early-position and Nuttapath Saisilp called on the button. Jeremy Min got dealt A♥ J♥ and jammed his 15 big-blinds. Kon Tang re-jammed, covering both players. Saisilp tanked, as it turned out he had pocket tens, but decided to get out of the way.
Tang was the favorite to bust out Min with A♦ K♥, but the A♠ J♣ 8♠ flop gave Min the lead which he could hold to double up and is now in great contention to make day 2.

Mehra Continues to Chip Up
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Jonas
Rishi Mehra
After we posted a hand Mehra had to lay down a couple of minutes ago, this time he won chips back and continues his hot run in this tournament. Punnat Punsri opened from the cut-off and Rishi Mehra in the small-blind and Zhan Guo called along.
On the :Td 6♥ 3♦ flop Punsri made a small bet which both blinds called. Punsri continued to fire on the A♦ turn and only Mehra wanted to see a river. This brought another six, the 6♠ and Mehra took over the initiative and donked 60,000 into a pot of around 220,000. After using one time bank Punsri decided to let his hand go.
