In what was being dubbed as the Phil Ivey comeback event, the 575 player field at APPT Macau was hoping that Ivey would be at the cash game tables and not at the final table when Sunday came ... well, it's almost Sunday and, the final fifteen players returning to the Grand Lisboa Casino for final day play have had their wish granted ... same goes for poker legend Johnny Chan - he too has found his seat at the massive cash games.
No Ivey, no Chan, no dream final table. But it's not like we're left with crap either, there are some fine storylines heading into final day play.
The chip leader Sangeeth Mohan. Mohan (pictured) is weeks removed from a PokerGuru Tour victory in India. In fact, Mohan's cashes all come from India - this is his first cash outside his home country.
Many will be looking for Nanonoko (aka Randy Lew) to lead the way on Sunday. Although he's a little low in chips, Nanonoko certainly has the experience needed to take advantage of lesser experienced players and could very well the one to take it down on the final day.
Jeff Rossiter - who scored poitns at the Aussie Millions this year - and David Steicke are also still in the mix.
