WSOP APAC: Saout Leads, Weisner Going Strong in Accumulator Day 1B
Most of the Day 1A players returned for Day 1B of the AUD $1,100 Accumulator and November Niner Antoine Saout emerged the big leader at the end of the day, with PokerStrategy.com coach Melanie Weisner one of the big stacks too.

329 players entered the Accumulator yesterday and because of the format it was no surprise that a similar number entered today, 337 in fact, making for 666 entries overall heading into day 1C tomorrow.
Lots of big names fell on day 1B including Greg Merson, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, but they all have a chance to come back tomorrow for a third shot in day 1C.
November Niner Antoine Saout is the man to beat on day 1B, bagging up 59,875 chips. Other notables guaranteed a day 2 appearance include 
MelanieWeisner, Jeremy Ausmus and Jonathon Karamailikis.
Early indications suggest that none of the Day 1A survivors who also survived Day 1B have accumulated a combined bigger stack than Day 1A leader Dan Kelly, but we will have a clearer picture of that tomorrow.
