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.

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 
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.

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.

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 
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.

Approximately 61 players have been sent on their final 10-minute break of the day.
One more level remaining following the break.

Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
The players are back from their break and the cards are in the air for the final level of Day 1c of the ANZPT Auckland Main Event.
Blinds are now 400/800 with a 100 ante.
Let's see who survives the last 60 minutes of the night.
Kani Edwards was one of the first players to sky rocket into a huge chip lead early in the day, then his stack slowly whittled down throughout the afternoon.
Now, following the elimination of Paul Hockin, Edwards is once again the chip leader.
The massive hand began with a player from under the gun opening to 2,400. Folded around to Edwards and he made the call. Hockin was in the cut off and three-bet to 6,000. The under-the-gun player called and it was back on Edwards. After checking to see that Hockin had around 25,000 behind, Edwards moved all in for 36,000. Hockin made the call and the under the gun was out of the way.
Unfortunately for Hockin he had ran his 
into the 
of Edwards and following a board run out of 
, Hockin was sent home, while Edwards was up to around 90,000 in chips.

Jason McMahon was looking a likely candidate for our end-of-day chip lead but a big clash with George Manolas has seen that lead change hands.
McMahon opened with a raise to 1,600 before Manolas three-bet to 3,500. Action folded back to McMahon who made the call to see a flop of 
. Manolas flicked out a bet of 3,000 but Manolas popped that up to 8,500. McMahon quickly called as a big pot was brewing when the 
fell on the turn.
McMahon checked and Manolas moved all in for a total of 22,475.
“Here goes the chip lead,” sighed McMahon as he flicked out a single chip to declare a call. McMahon was right as his 
had been notched by Manolas’ 
.
The river was the 
to see Manolas double to a very healthy stack of 70,000. McMahon takes a big hit but he’s still in sound shape with around 55,000.
