2008 PokerNews Cup Australia Championships - Day 2

[user38449]

The weather forecast for today here in Melbourne calls for a hazy morning and partly cloudy skies throughout the day. Similar fortunes await 83 of the 123 runners scheduled to take to the felt this afternoon for Day 2 of the PokerNews Cup Main Event. Most will begin the day with optimism and reveries of how they'd spend a quarter of a million dollars, but ultimately end up with nothing. Such is the nature of the beast, however, and perhaps one of the reasons why we love this crazy game.

We will be playing down to a final table today and that process starts at 12:10 p.m. local time. Pull up a chair and fire up a sit'n'go or two, perhaps here, or here, or here, while you follow the action here.

We're live from the Crown Poker Room in T-minus three hours. Stay tuned!
