The Race For The Money is On!
After two starting days it's time to get very serious! There are still 141 players remaining out of the 345 that started, and today we will head towards the money. Just 41 players will get paid, and even the current chip leaders cannot be sure to reach that.
The minimum payout today will be A$3,450, and that is just the start. The final table is set to start on Monday at 2:00 PM, which means a lot of players will need to bust out today. This day is expected to be long, but eventually the nine finalists will surface.
There are plenty of big-name players to look out for with hometown player Billy Jordanou in the lead. Top online pro Paul Hockin was the Day 1B chip leader and he's followed by other experienced pros Karim Jomeen and Minh Nguyen. The 2005 WSOP Main Event winner Joe Hachem also has a big stack as he will try to add another cash to his successful year.
