Maria Ho started the day with a very small stack, but managed to run it up to around 35,000. Well, its back to square one for Ho as she has just taken a big hit to her stack.
It started when Ho opened it up to 2,500 from the cutoff seat. The small blind player then moved all in for around 19,000 in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Ho quickly made the call.
Ho: 
Opponent: 
Ho was needing some help and it was help that would never come as the board ran out 
.
He was the 2011 ANZPT Sydney Main Event champion, but he'll need to some work if wants a similar result this year.
When we came to Oliver Speidel's table we noticed that a few players to his left there was a player with a stack of around 200,000. His name is Daniel Ibrahim and while we counted his stack he got involved in a hand with Speidel.
It started when Speidel opened the pot from middle position. Ibrahim was in the small blind when he made the call and the big blind got out of the way to see the 
flop dealt.
On the flop, both players checked and the hit the turn. The completed the board on the river and both players again checked. Ibrahim turned over his 
, enough to send Speidel's cards into the muck.
We have just been informed that there is another big stack out in the Oasis Room. His name is Xhixin Yao and apparently he got most of chips by dealing a double-elimination when he hit a four-flush holding the 
. Ian Parnell held the 
and was eliminated, while the other player held the 
.
Tobin Ryall finished up Day 1a as the overall chip leader going into today's action. That trend is continuing early into the day as he now sits behind a stack of 225,000. Bill Kennedy also started the day as one of the chip leaders and he now sits with significantly less.
Gordon Huntly took to a flop showing 
in a raised pot against one opponent. The action was checked to Huntly and he made it 11,600 to go. The player made the call and the 
was dealt on the turn. This time both players checked and the last card was dealt on the river.
River:
On the river, Huntly's opponent led out for 15,400 and Huntly thought for a few moments before raising it up to 40,000. The player instantly let his hand go and Huntly took in the pot to crack 200,000 in chips.
