It's Time For Day 2 of ANZPT Sydney
Welcome back to The Star Poker Room for continued coverage of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event. Today is Day 2 and of the 461 players who created a $922,000 prize pool, there will only be 208 returning for their chance at the $226,812 first place prize.
The man to catch today will be Day 1a chip leader Tobin Ryall. A great Thursday evening saw Ryall accumulate 138,500 in chips.
Plenty of familiar faces from around the country and the world will be hitting the tables today including Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen, Dan "djk123" Kelly and prominent poker pro Maria Ho.
Don't rule out the Australian players though as they will be keen to keep the title on home soil. Representing the Aussie flag will be Australian Poker Hall of Fame members Leo Boxell (45,700), Gary Benson (36,375), Billy Argyros (22,600) and Mel Judah (19,925).
It's going to be a long day here in Sydney, with play expected to continue until just two tables remain. We expect that to take at least 10 levels and a dinner break, but don't hold us to that. Just sit tight and enjoy the coverage as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be here on this penultimate day of action at the 2012 ANZPT Sydney Main Event.
