The 2008 PokerStars APPT Syndey has gotten underway over at Star City in Australia.  The Main Event will feature well over the 561 players that showed up for last year’s Main Event, and with 4 days of intense poker ahead of this year’s field, it will undoubtedly have its fair share of action and intensity.  Add to the fact that each of the players will start with $20k in chips, this tournament should see a ton of clay being passed around on the green felt - and that’s just after the first day.

Tons of Team PokerStars members will be partaking in this year’s APPT, including Australia’s native son and WSOP Main Event champ Joe Hachem, Vanessa Rousso, and Chad Brown.  Many internet qualifiers and recent EPT champions will also be gracing the seats, along with a fair amount of local pros.  Festivities were already underway last week with several smaller tournaments coming to fruition; all of which have led up to the championship that is now being played as we speak.

We’ll keep you all posted here at PokerNewsGuru of the final results of this star-studded tournament.
