Huang Back Up Above Starting

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang is finally up above starting stack after falling very short not too long ago. We watched Huang rake in a pot on the turn of a {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board. Huang had led out for 2,900 into a pot of about 9,000 and his opponent eventually opted to fold. Following this hand Huang had seen his stack rise back up to around 25,000.

Gorr No More

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

We hadn't seen 2011 Aussie Millions champion David Gorr for some time, but then we spotted him at one of the tables here at the SKYCITY Auckland Casino. Problem was, it was a cash game, not the ANZPT Auckland Main Event. It will have to be onto the next one for Gorr.

Solid Day So Far for Punjabi

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Karan Punjabi is having a solid day at the felt and that continued recently as he took down a handsome pot against one opponent.

We arrived to find Punjabi and the player on the turn of a {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board, with Punjabi checking to the player who bet 4,000. Back on Punjabi and he took a long time before moving all in for around 10,000 extra. The player opted to let it go and Punjabi scooped up the pot and moved to around 35,000 in chips.

Punjabi made it to the final table of ANZPT Melbourne in both 2012 and 2011 and will hopefully make the 2013 ANZPT Auckland Main Event the third final table of his career.

Chip Leader Emerging

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

It's that time of the day when a chip leader starts to emerge and today that player is Steven Zhou.

Zhou currently sits behind around 80,000 in chips, which is good enough for the lead.

Let's see if he can stay in front until Day 1c is all over.

Daniel Has a Foot Up on the Competition

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We aren't sure exactly what happened, but Daniel Foote was recently busy scooping up a very nice pot preflop. We arrived to find 30,000 already in the middle and with Foote all in for around 15,000 and the action back on his lone opponent who was in the tank. Eventually the player opted to fold and Foote showed his {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} as he stacked up his new chips.

Edwards Loses Lead

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kani Edwards has been the chip leader for much of the early stages of Day 1c of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event, but recently lost a sizable pot and is no longer at the top of the leader board.

We arrived to find Edwards facing a bet of 8,500 from his lone opponent on the river of a {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} board. Edwards eventually called and then mucked as he was a little shocked to see his opponent table {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a runner-runner straight.

With that Edwards is down to around 32,000.
