After a relatively early night last night, we were all back on the floor for day two action.

APPT Macau Day 1b Level 15-18 Updates
APPT Macau Day 1b Level 19-21 Updates

The highlight of the day was the fact that David Steicke was playing. Why? Because it is David Steicke!

Also in the field however were JC Tran, John ‘The Razor’ Phan, Neil Arce, Terrence Chan, Mike Kim, Andrew Scott and Eric Assadourian as Steicke finished near the top of the counts – second to be exact – behind Henrick Gwinner.

Unsually the APPT Player Party was scheduled for tonight instead of being at the start or the end of the tournament, but either way, that wasn’t stopping any of us from partying!

Heading up to the Grand Ballroom there was tables full of varying types of alcohol and a small buffet for all to enjoy as the music played on and on. With rumours of a cool show for everyone, it would be Jordan Sam – the world’s greatest Michael Jackson impersonator – doing his thing to a few tunes.

We thought it was pretty cool, and it actually felt like we were at a Michael Jackson concert, but in reality it didn’t seem like the rest of the crowd appreciated it.

As the night began to wind up we all found our way to the Lion’s Bar at the MGM where we managed to share a booth with some of my mates from back home that now live here in Macau.

The Grey Goose flowed, the dance moves were embarrassing but the view was amazing as we had lines of ladies looking down on us. Of course GG began the flirt-off as he would find a girl, give her the look, and she would be instantly hooked on this ‘whitey’ giving her the time of day!

Jordan Sam somehow made an appearance and rocked a few songs as the crowd went wild! Donnie got in on the flirting action as GG somehow managed to step it up (didn’t think it was possible) as I had my eye on this Filipino girl how seemed to be enjoying the night out bopping away to the music as we were doing too.

The night kicked past 3am and the question was where we were off to next. I made my up to the bar – and courtesy of a mad friend – somehow got introduced to the girl I had my eye on.

Her name was Cindy and she lived in Manila, but was studying dentistry off-campus at Brisbane (university?). She was young, petite and attractive, and consequently I bought her a drink as we all vacated the Lion’s Bar in preparation to head to D2.

“Don’t hang out with him, come hang with us. We’re going to D2″ a drunk GG kept saying to her as we walked out of the MGM to await for a taxi.

With no one (of the twenty or so people that we had been partying with) moving or doing anything, me and Cindy jumped in a cab and headed back to the Grand Lisboa for the night.
