Dangio Takes Mac's Chips
Jonathan Dangio, who finished fifth in the ANZPT Darwin Main Event in 2011, has just won a nice pot off Jesse McKenzie. The hand in question started when McKenzie opened the pot to 500 from early position. Dangio made the call and the the rest of the table got out of the way as the dealer turned over a 
flop.
McKenzie led for 600 here and Dangio called. McKenzie would again lead on the 
turn, this time with a bet of 1,500. Dangio opted to call again and a 
would complete the board on the river. McKenzie continued his aggression here, betting 3,000 - which left him with around 10,000 behind. Dangio thought hard before making the call, eventually flicking out enough chips to send the play to showdown.
McKenzie:   |
Dangio:   |
With that, McKenzie is down to just over 10,000 and Dangio is cruising on around 30,000.

This Day Last Year
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
On day 1b of this event last year, it was the eventual champion Marcel Schreiner who finished up as the chip leader. A few familiar faces who played that day last year have returned to the tables on Day 1b again this year. Those include Tom Grigg, Ben McLean, Ricky Kroesen, Danny Chevalier and Jesse McKenzie. All of the above players made it through the day and will be looking to do the same this year - except of course for Tom Grigg, who has already found the rail during the early stages of the day.
Is the eventual champion again partaking in Day 1b? Only time will tell, so make sure to keep tuning in to all the action.
A Couple with O'Rourke
Liam O'Rourke, who finished second in the 2012 ANZPT Sydney Main Event, has been fairly active over at his table. We recently watched him play a couple of small back-to-back hands that played out like this.
- An early position player opened up the pot to 600. O'Rourke called out of the small blind, along with Billy Argyros in the big blind. All three players checked on the
flop. When the dealer turned over a 
turn, O'Rourke led for 775 and both his opponents folded as he raked in the pot. - The very next hand and another early position player would be opening it up, this time to 550. The player in the hijack made the call and it was on to O'Rourke from the button. He would three-bet to 1,700 - an amount which would prompt both of his opponents to fold.

Size Does Matter
We didn’t see the action but the result was that Jacky Wang is now left with pocket change after a huge clash on the board of 
.
Wang made a big river call but the healthy pot was pushed to his opponent who opened 
for a set as Wang tossed his cards into the muck.
