The last level on Day 2 of the APPT Melbourne Main Event has begun.
In 75 minutes the night will be over. The action has slowed down somewhat over the last level or so, therefore we don't expect to make it as close to the money as we once thought.
There are three very tough players at the top of the chip counts with around 60 players remaining on Day 2 of the APPT Melbourne Main Event.
Right up the top with the largest stack is Kiwi [Removed:17]. He has also been at the top of the counts most of the day. Yan is a very experienced player, with his most prominent live result coming when he finished 6th in this year's Aussie Millions Main Event. Also at the top is Jonathan Karamalikis. A recently appointed Full Tilt ANZPT Ambassador, Karamalikis is one of the most prominent players in Australian poker history. Jason Gray also has a big stack. Gray is a member of the Australian Poker Hall of Fame member.
Jonathan Karamalikis started things off with a bet of 6,000 from the cut off. Dejan Boskovic joined in from the button before Ivan Zalac raised it up to 16,500. Both opponents snap called and watched as the flop came down .
Zalac and Karamalikis checked over to Boskovic who threw out 24,000. Zalac instantly made the call as Karamalikis mucked his hand. The on the turn was of no interest as both players checked. The then completed the board and Zalac bet out 20,000. The pot was his when Boskovic’s cards flew into the muck moments later.
The action folded around to Jonathan Karamalikis in the cut off who opened to 6,000. Dejan Boskovic made the call from the button as both blinds got out of the way.

With the flop spread out Graeme Putt checked from the big blind before Jordan Westmorland bet out 9,500 from under the gun. The player to his left made a quick call which forced Putt out. The fell on the turn, and Westmorland checked. His opponent reached for chips and slid out 17,000 which was called. The river produced the and Westmorland check called a final bet of 18,000.
“Ace high,” said Westmorland’s opponent, motioning to muck his hand. Westmorland then tabled his for top pair which was good enough to take down the pot.
While the action is slowing down, it looks like Billy "The Croc" Argyros is just warming up on the feature table with plenty of boisterous banter to keep the rail entertained.
However a recent misstep cost Argyros the chance to defend his big blind. He thought he was under the gun and folded his cards, only for the dealer to inform him he was the big blind. Argyros asked to retrieve his cards, but the dealer said they were in the muck.
"What muck? They are the only cards there!" chucked Argyros before accepting the decision. Incredibly the table folded all the way around the table to give Joe Cabret a walk in the small blind, but the confused dealer pushed the pot to Argyros. Cabret was quick to snatch back the chips.
"How can I win the pot? I didn't have any cards!" laughed Argyros. The Australian Poker Hall of Famer is having a good time and currently sits with around 140,000 chips.
