Six Figures for Bragouits on Day 1b of ANZPT Auckland
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
The first stop on Season Six of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour continued today as Day 1b of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event took place.
There were a total of 66 entrants and at the end of the day just 32 remained. It was a roller coaster day of action as players such as Miroslav Sheynin, Koray Turker and Daniel Levy fought it out for the chip lead all day. However, in the end a late surge from Anesone Bragouits would see him end up with 106,600 in chips and enough to be the leader. That stack make Bragouits the only player to reach six-figures in the tournament so far.
We mentioned that Sheynin was one of the chip leaders throughout the day, but unfortunately for him some late trouble would see him on the rail. Some of the others who joined Sheynin on the rail throughout the day include Graeme Putt, [Removed:17], Mishel Anunu and this year’s ANZPT Queenstown champion, Jono Bredin.
Turker and Levy were able to do what Sheynin could not and made it through to Day 2, along with players such as Cole Swannack, Slade Fisher and Erich Stadler. Be sure to check out all the end-of-day 1b chip counts in the live reporting blog below.
Tomorrow is the final Day 1 flight of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event and we expect a jam-packed poker room here at the SKYCITY Auckland Casino. We will once again be providing live updates of all the action, so be sure to join us from 12.30 p.m. local time. Until then, poker fans!

Taylor Sent Home
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Asj Taylor found himself short with around 10 minutes to go in the final level. Then he moved all in preflop holding 
against Erich Stadler's 
. Despite hitting a pair of sixes, Taylor wasn't able to stay alive and so it will be onto the next one for the young Kiwi.

Taylor Hurt by Pravin
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
It’s been a wild ride today for Pravin Harji. He’s had moments of brilliance followed by some tougher times, and he experienced all that and more in a recent hand against Asj Taylor.
The chips were in on the flop of 
with Harji going with 
for top pair, top kicker but he ran into Taylor’s powerhouse 
.
Harji was up on his feet, pre-empting his doom, when the 
appeared on the turn to the “ooohs” of the table. Taylor dropped his head when the 
fell on the river and Harji doubled through with his trip tens.
Harji is now back to 55,000, while Taylor managed to smile through clenched teeth as he drops to just 5,500 in change.

Few Missing Late in Day
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Graeme Putt, [Removed:17] and Miroslav Sheynin have all gone missing during the late stages of the day. Sheynin was looking like he was going to finish as one of the chip leaders, but ran into a monster hand that you can read about below. Yan and Putt on the other hand never really got anything going and won't be at the felt on Day 2.

Late Surge From Arora
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
A huge hand has just unfolded on Table 6 to leave Miroslav Sheynin rattled as Prashant Arora landed massive double up to join the tournament chip leaders late in the day.
It was a cooler of a flop that did the damage with the two committing their chips on a flop of 
. Sheynin showed 
but couldn’t believe his misfortune when Arora tabled 
for a set.
The turn was the 
and river the 
to see Arora double through to 75,000, leaving Sheynin with just 10,500 in chips

Fisher Going Strong
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
The last time we saw Slade Fisher in a poker tournament he had long dreadlocks. He doesn’t have those anymore, but he does have plenty of chips late on Day 1b of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event.
Fisher recently dealt the fatal blow to an opponent over on Table 4. It started with Fisher opening to 1,800 from under the gun. Folded around to the player in the hijack and he moved all in for 1,975. The player in the big blind made the call and so too did Fisher.
On the 
flop, the big blind player checked and Fisher bet 2,100. A fold would see the at-risk player table 
and Fisher turn over .
A 
gave Fisher’s opponent some hope, but the river sealed the deal for Fisher as he sent his opponent to the rail and moved his stack to around 65,000. With just over half an hour remaining in the day, Fisher is one of the chip leaders.

Levy Knocks One Away
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
During the late stages of the previous level, Daniel Levy eliminated a player to keep his stack as one of the biggest in the room. The hand saw Levy raise it up to 3,100 after three players limped . The player in the small blind then moved all in for 10,275 and the limpers got out of the way.
“Why do I put myself in these situations,” said Levy to no one in particular.
Levy eventually made the call and tabled . The at-risk player held 
.
When the board ran out 
, Levy said “Bink!” as he had hit a straight and then apologised to the eliminated player and graciously shook his hand.
“No one ever won a tournament by getting it in good,” quipped Levy as he stacked his new chips.
