The final Day 1 flight came to a close Thursday night at the 2014 PokerStars.net APPT Macau Main Event, and it was an exciting day of play which did not disappoint. There were an impressive 282 players who turned out for seven and a half levels of play, and by the end only 119 survived with Peter Chan bagging up the most chips with 141,000.

Close behind him and also reaching the six-figure club were Shivan Abdine (124,800) and Haifeng Xue (121,000), both of whom battled Chan for the lead throughout the final stages of play.

Some well-known players who took their seat throughout the day included recent APPT Seoul champion Chane Kampanatsanyakorn, 2013 WSOP ACOP gold bracelet winner Aaron Lim and reigning APPT Macau champion Alexandre Chieng. Unfortunately for those three, their day would be cut short.
