The PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour started Day 1b as players once again hit the felt in Sidney. A total of 109 players showed for day 1b, and it didn’t take long for players to find out who they would be chasing. That player goes by the name of Leo Boxell. Boxell ended the day with 148,000 in chips as he mowed down the competition. Boxell isn’t exactly a household name around the world, but he has a familiar face when it comes to Aussie tournaments. Day 1c is set to kick off on Thursday, and day 1c is expected to have more entrants than the previous days.

The past couple of weeks has been a wild ride for Isildur1, the unknown Swede, as he just recently took another $1.6 million hit. Once again Isildur1 sat down to play Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies, and Sahamies ended up taking the biggest pot the two have ever had. The $708,000 pot was shipped to Sahamies as Isildur1 bluffed the majority of his stack away with a measly pair of threes; to bad for him Sahamies was waiting with his king high flush. Isildur1 hit another rough patch when he sat down to play Brian Townsend. Townsend took $215,000 off Isildur1 in one hand as Isildur1’s wrap couldn’t connect to knock off Townsend’s aces. More information to come on the Isildur1 roller coaster.
